Summary
A Williston Middle School teacher blew the roof off at a school board meeting, detailing rat infestations, ceiling leaks, and a plumbing nightmare that turned classrooms into water parks. The district confirmed decades-old infrastructure issues, with Superintendent Chris Barnes admitting the school — built in 1953 — needs massive upgrades. Despite a third-party vendor calling the campus “good,” they recommended critical repairs to AC, roof, and lighting. Over $760K has already been spent since 2023, with more planned — including HVAC and staircase fixes — tied to a November bond referendum that could get a major boost from a community endowment.
