Flooded Schools Race to Reopen | San Antonio News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Ingram ISD is racing against time to restore twelve flood-damaged buildings after July’s catastrophic rains and a failed retention pond, with repairs estimated at $2 million—most of which won’t be covered by insurance. Key sites like Tom Moore High’s ag science lab and fieldhouse suffered severe water intrusion, ruining equipment and band hall sections. Staff and volunteers—including even the football team—are working nonstop to prep for August 12th’s first day, with some activities shifting outdoors. The Cailloux Foundation donated $180K to help, while cosmetic fixes may be postponed until later in the year. Despite last year’s flooding, the district remains determined to reopen on schedule, adapting as they go.
