The restroom on the 900 wing reopened on Jan. 7 after being closed to repair damage from a fire.
According to assistant principal Kevin Mount, It took approximately 24 maintenance hours and 12 custodial hours to restore the restroom. The repairs included replacing tiles and toilet paper dispensers and putting in a new seat cover. The repair cost was about $1,660.
“Apparently, someone lit the toilet paper roll and the fire spread from there,” Mount said. “The wall where the fire was started was blackened, and the entire restroom had to be scrubbed down and repainted because of smoke damage.”
The fire occurred at roughly 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 11.
