If school roof levy fails, the alternatives are not pleasant
School District 6 will make a public push to inform voters about an upcoming building reserve levy request to fix the roof on the classroom wing of the Columbia Falls High School. The alternatives to not fixing the roof soon could still cost the district thousands, without ever addressing the roof.
School officials noted last week that there has been some misinformation out there on the necessary project.
For one, the roof itself didn’t actually leak. What happened was moisture over time, perhaps from a rain event while it was being replaced years ago, got in between layers of gypsum and the steel plates below, noted school officials.
