Roof Repairs Among Summer Projects For MB Schools

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL - The students are dismissed for the summer at Mountain Brook City Schools, but that does not mean that work has stopped in the city's schools. In addition to a bevy of administrative work, some building improvements are slated for the summer before students return to school in August.

The Mountain Brook Board of Education approved multiple summer facility projects at its May 20 meeting, according to a Village Living report.

Before the 2019-2020 academic year begins in August, new roofs will be in place on portions of the junior high and high school. Mountain Brook Schools Director of Facilities Tommy Prewitt said work totaling $195,000 will be completed on the 500 wing of Mountain Brook High School, while work totaling around $308,000 will be completed on the tower and competition gym at Mountain Brook Junior High School. The school board awarded the projects to Malone Roofing.

In addition to the roofs, work will be done over the summer on the HVAC systems at MBHS and Cherokee Bend Elementary. Prewitt said parts of the systems at both schools will be replaced.
