The heavy rains on April 17 caused damage to properties at Klein ISD.


Klein Collins High School received as much as $3 to $4 million in damages, said Robert Robertson, KISD associate superintendent for facilities.


Some of the damage occurred to the roof, and 23 classrooms sustained water damage. Roof repair and drying out the classrooms is resolved, said Judy Rimato, associate superintendent for communications for KISD. The district will replace the damaged furniture and electronic equipment.


The baseball and softball field lights were also affected by the storms, with one falling and others damaged enough to be deemed unsafe.


Two hundred feet of fencing were also damaged. The lights and fencing will be replaced, Rimato said.


The greenhouse roof and contents were damaged by a pole penetrating the roof of the building at Klein Collins High School, she said.


“Carpet, sheetrock, equipment, furniture, books, supplies, etc., are damaged when water intrudes from the roof,” Rimato said.


At Klein Forest High School, $10,000 in damages occurred to the baseball field fence, Robertson said.


The fence has to be replaced along with the attached screen, Rimato said.


Due to the damages, students missed five days of school, she said. Klein Collins High School classroom and interior spaces were ready for classes on April 25, Robertson said.


“We still have to sand joints and paint the drywall, but that will have to wait until the roof is replaced,” he said. “It will be done after school is out for the summer.”
