Maine South to get leaky roof repaired over the summer

The Board of Education for Maine Township High School District 207 approved a bid for a summer construction project at Maine South High School at its May board meeting.

In a letter from the Director of Facilities David Ulm to Superintendent Ken Wallace and Assistant Superintendent Mary Kalou, Ulm wrote that there have been persistent leaks on that portion of the roof even after previous repairs were made. Ulm said testing found the insulation under the roof to be saturated and dripping. He added that leaks subsided in the winter, but came back in the spring.

“At this point we have determined the best course of action is to perform a removal of all of the insulation,” Ulm said in his letter. “Then we will install a temporary roof this year, and then next summer we will install the permanent roof.”
