— Classrooms and offices damaged just months after a new school in Morgantown opened will be ready for occupancy by fall.
University High School Principal James Forst said repairs to the rooms will likely be completed by mid-May. But with summer break just around the corner, he said they won't be put back into use until next year.
A total of 29 rooms were damaged in December after an early morning temperature spike set off an alarm and a sprinkler system ran unnoticed for hours.
Superintendent Frank Devono said the district's insurance covered all of the $490,000 renovation cost except a $10,000 deductible.
