District officials have confirmed that a Keller ISD middle school will be temporarily moving to a nearby vacated campus while repairs continue on its original building. Fossil Hill Middle School has been closed since Thanksgiving break when a re-roofing project led to debris that damaged the interior.

Top Priority: Student and Staff Safety

A school district spokesperson emphasized in an email on Thursday that the safety of students and staff is of utmost importance. They are grateful to have a nearby facility available to minimize disruption to student learning. Classes were initially expected to resume on Thursday but were postponed. An assessment determined that additional repairs were needed, and classes will now resume on December 11 at the temporary location within the district.

Impact on Extracurricular Activities

Parents of students involved in athletics, fine arts, or other extracurricular activities have been asked to stay tuned for additional communication from program directors and coaches regarding competitions or performances. This ensures that students can continue to participate in these activities despite the temporary relocation.

Details of the Re-roofing Project

The re-roofing project that caused the damage was extensive. Debris from the roofing work found its way into the school, affecting the interior. This incident highlights the importance of proper construction and maintenance procedures to avoid such disruptions. The district is taking steps to ensure that similar issues do not occur in the future.
