Due to mechanical issues at Warsaw Community High School, Warsaw Community Schools will be moving the second session of summer school for middle school through high school students to Edgewood Middle School effective today.
The entire second session will take place at Edgewood Middle school.
According to Dr. David Hoffert, Warsaw schools superintendent, two main cooling fans at the high school went out. One fan went out last week and due to the demand needed from the remaining fan, the second fan failed afterward.
It’s “not a safety issue, just a comfort issue at this point,” Hoffert said.
The parts for the fans were ordered around July 4, Hoffert said, and are expected to be delivered mid-way this week.
“We’ll monitor how fast it takes to takes to get the parts,” Hoffert said. “We’ll have this fixed very quickly.”
Hoffert stated if the fans are fixed before the end of the second term of summer school is finished, the school district will move the high school students back to the high school. If not, the students will stay at Edgewood. Hoffert, however, thinks the fans will be fixed before the 2019-2020 school year starts.
Parking for summer school will be available for students near Edgewood’s gym as well as by the high school soccer fields. Parent drop-off and pick-up will take place off of Union Street in front of the school. Buses will drop off as usual for Edgewood at the back side of the building.
WCS staff request parents be aware as they drop off students of pedestrian traffic at both the back end and front of the school. All times will remain the same for summer school students.
