The Bethune School District will use the funds to fix a water issue on the north side of the elementary and gymnasium. This has been a terrific summer for rain but much of it has entered our building. This is not a roof issue but an issue with the landscaping. The water is coming under the slab and has entered the preschool and the central office. The water has also worked its way under the gym wall. It has only been a very small puddle at this point and has done no damage to the gym floor as of yet. We have a bid to mitigate this water problem that falls outside of an insurance claim so far. We would pour a 5 foot (basically sidewalk) around the 102 feet of wall affected. We would also pour a V pan in a corner to move water along.
This is a very necessary project. The Bethune School would pay for the finishing touches of the grass landscaping if we could just get the concrete wok completed.
