July 19, 2024
Some school buildings in the Houston district may not be ready to open later this summer because of damage sustained from Hurricane Beryl.
KTRK-TV reports that at least 60 campuses have roof or structural damage, and 50 have trees down. About 200 campuses lost power once the hurricane struck, and 20 campuses remain without power, the district says.
Sinclair Elementary, Cage Elementary, Project Chrysalis Middle School, and Kelso Elementary sustained extensive damage in the storm, according to the district.
District officials say that crews are stationed around the clock to get campuses back online for summer school students and to begin preparations for the new school year that starts on Aug. 12.
