Water from a bathroom urinal flooded Lake Worth High School forcing the district to cancel school until Feb. 14.

The flooding, discovered by a band director Friday afternoon, impacted the main entrance of the high school, front offices and classrooms.The second floor, auditorium and gym were not damaged, but Superintendent Dr. Rose Mary Neshyba said there still wasn’t enough classroom space to move students to. The impacted section of the school has to be sealed off to properly dry it out so the district decided to shut down and bring students back when the job is done.

Neshyba said it wasn’t clear yet exactly what happened to cause the urinal to flood. Cameras showed no one was in the building after 6 p.m. Thursday, and water didn’t appear on cameras until about midnight Friday. After the discovery Friday afternoon, maintenance crews and restoration teams worked into the early morning Saturday getting the water out.READ MORE:The school board met in a special meeting Monday morning and voted on a calendar change for high school students.
