Guest Guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Monday, August 06, 2007 By LYSA CHEN JOURNAL STAFF WRITER HARRISON - The new high school is ready to go - as long as it doesn't rain. The newly constructed school has been plagued with flooding troubles since April, but should still be ready to open at the beginning of the school year, said Kevin McAlroy, spokesman for the New Jersey Schools Construction Corp. A manhole within a concrete plaza in front of the school overflowed in late April, causing a flash flood that seeped into the school from its perimeter, according to Mike Pichowicz, assistant business administrator of the Harrison Board of Education. The school flooded again July 11, McAlroy said. Pichowicz said sandbags were placed along entrances at the front of the school as a temporary solution, and McAlroy said the NJSCC has created a "preliminary resolution" to correct draining near the school. Flood damage inside the school - including damage done to the gym, auditorium and dance studio - will not be repaired until the NJSCC has resolved how to stop flooding from reoccurring, McAlroy said. Pichowicz said he was confident the new high school will be ready to open by September. "The school is mainly complete," he said. "They (the NJSCC) are working on it as we speak, and it'll be fixed sooner rather than later." One of the new high school's major improvements will include a full service, "state-of-the-art" cafeteria, which will allow the school to hold a closed, on-campus lunch, Pichowicz said. Extracurricular rooms, such as media centers and a weightlifting room, will also be more centrally located, he said. Harrison's Washington School will move to the old high school building, and Lincoln School will occupy the old Washington School building, Pichowicz said, adding that the district is ahead of schedule in moving the schools. © 2007 The Jersey Journal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
