Heavy snow causes roof collapse at elementary school in Foster, R.I.

From The Providence Journal: The Capt. Isaac Paine Elementary School in Foster, R.I., has been closed after a roof collapse caused by heavy snow. The collapse appeared to center on the portion over the school library, but engineers have determined that there was enough structural damage to the building to warrant closing it down indefinitely. Until repairs can be made, the school’s 216 K-5 students will be housed at the West Glocester Elementary School or in classroom space at the Ponaganset Middle School in Glocester .
