Three Schools Shut Down for Safety Repairs | Raleigh News

Three Wake County elementary schools—Creech Road, Davis Drive, and Durant Road—are temporarily closed due to serious structural flaws discovered in their walls, with repairs urgently underway. Built in the 90s and never built to their original plans, the schools now face major reinforcement work before students return. Durant Road, a year-round school, has already relocated staff to a nearby campus, with repairs expected to finish by mid-August. Creech Road and Davis Drive, with teachers set to report August 17th and school starting August 24th, face a tighter deadline as repairs won’t be done until August 21st—forcing the school board to consider delaying teacher workdays or finding alternative solutions. Emergency contracts were approved to begin repairs over the weekend, offering hope for a timely fix. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
