a 'little water' situation at the high school
meeting today, very technical people, the builder/contractors, etc. have 2 weeks to come up with a plan to remediate
restoration is underway, facilities had responded quickly, walls coming together, painting on the weekend, no time frame on when Mr Light's office will come back
the fix will not cost the taxpayers anything, it has been an issue since the building opened, it never really drew heat properly

no student services were impacted, only the principal has been impacted
