Wild Rose School Division has been engaged in a school roof replacement project for Lochearn School.

During the evening of June 11/12, 2015 protective measures to cover the gym roof replacement area failed. This resulted in flooding into the school’s gym and attached storage areas. The full extent of the damage is currently being investigated by the School Division’s insurance provider, disaster mitigation experts and related specialists. The investigation will also consist of advanced air-quality testing to ensure air-quality levels are safe for staff and students. To date the extent of the damage has been to the school’s gym floor, gym area drywall, ceiling tiles and physical education equipment.

Regular updates will be provided when new information is made available.
