CUSICK, Wash. — Cusick School District is finally back in session after a pipe burst sent every student across the district home for the week while crews stayed on campus to repair the damage.

On Jan. 21, a pipe had burst and caused flooding throughout the school. As they arrived on-campus, water had gone through the walls, flowing into classrooms, hallways, the library and cafeteria.

Over that week, crews worked on making sure that air flowed through the school, to prevent any further damage – like molding. Approximately 265 students between grades K-12 are out of school this week.

The superintendent says that the school will now resume as normal this week.

Currently, the district has four-day school weeks, to prevent from extending school into the summer they will be making up the days missed on some Fridays.
