Flooded Classrooms and Broken Lasers | San Antonio News

Schools in Ingram Independent District are back — but not without a major flood aftermath. Twelve buildings were hit, with the agriculture and science wing taking the worst damage, including a ruined laser cutter. Five structures faced Category 3 floodwater contamination, while others suffered rainwater damage. The July deluge overwhelmed a nearby retention pond, spilling into classrooms and athletic areas. Despite last-minute cleanup, repairs will cost under $2 million — most of which won’t be covered by insurance due to high deductibles. The district is pausing other projects to focus on recovery and prevent future disasters, while also waiting for their new admin building — slated for completion next spring.
