Thurston HS roof collapses under heavy snow
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) – The Springfield School Board has declared an emergency after the roof of Thurston High School’s auxiliary gym collapsed.
KEZI-TV reports the declaration made Friday will allow the district to waive the bidding process so repairs can be done more quickly.
No one was injured when a support beam came down on Wednesday because of heavy snow. The roof collapsed during the school board’s meeting on Friday.
Because of the damage, officials say they are moving this weekend’s state basketball tournament to Springfield High School.
A high school dance and drill competition will be moved to Sheldon High School.
