As of now, USD 386 Madison Virgil is not expecting any alterations to the start of the academic year.
That’s according to Superintendent Tammy Baird who spoke with KVOE News Monday afternoon, a little more than 24 hours after severe storms peeled half of the Madison High School gymnasium roof off of the building early Sunday morning.
Baird says the district’s insurance adjuster was on site through much of the afternoon assessing the full scope of the damage. Additionally, Baird notes that four roofing companies have reached out to the district to offer bids for repairing the damage.
Baird tells KVOE News plans are to take bids and other needed information to the district’s board of education when they convene for their regular meeting next Monday. Baird says there is no timeline for when repairs could begin or be complete.
The school year is currently slated to begin next Wednesday, August 16.
Confirmed or estimated wind speeds for Madison as part of the severe storm activity have not been announced. Wind gusts were anywhere from 60-72 mph and immediately around Eureka and above 60 mph at Matfield Green early Sunday.
