COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The College Station ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve funding to repair two schools damaged in recent storms. The emergency meeting was held Tuesday night at the CSISD Central Administration Building. Five of the seven board members were present.
The board discussed emergency roof repairs for Southwood Valley Elementary and Oakwood Intermediate. These roofs were damaged after recent severe weather brought up to softball-sized hail and heavy rain to the area.
According to a notice sent earlier in the day, it will cost College Station ISD $371,026 to make the repairs. Brazos Industries will be tasked with the work and the money is to be paid from the 2020-2021 general fund. On the agenda is a section for public comments.
Just last week, Judge Duane Peters declared a disaster for Brazos County. The hail storm caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage around the county. Many people's cars were destroyed and windows of homes and business were smashed.
