Crews Say Roof “Compromised” At Old Rochester Junior High and High School

Crews clearing snow off of the roof of Old Rochester Junior High and High School late yesterday determined that the roof has been "compromised".  School has been cancelled today, February 23, for the Junior High and Senior High School.

As crews were clearing the roofs at Old Rochester Regional Junior High and Senior High Schools, the insurance group’s foreman who was overseeing the project, reported concerns that a portion of the roof may have been compromised.

“Please know that first thing tomorrow we will have structural engineers in the district to inspect the roofs and provide information and direction that will allow us to take the necessary steps to ensure that the building is safe and when students may return to school,” said Superintendent Douglas R. White Jr.

Updated information will be provided throughout the process through connect ED and the district website.
