Good morning SC Lee Parents,
We currently have about 30 classrooms on campus being impacted by a frozen line to the boiler that heats those rooms.
The students are being moved to warmer areas of the building. We are also in the process of distributing heaters in each of the affected rooms.
We appreciate our maintenance staff that is working hard to remediate the situation and appreciate your patience.
We would also say that while we feel that things are being addressed that, as a parent, you are the decision maker for your child if you want them at home with you.
Sincerely,
CCISD Administration
