New Engleman School: After cold winter prevented work, wet spring didn’t help

GRAND ISLAND —
Winter
weather -- not rainy weather -- is why the office and kindergarten
additions to the new Engleman Elementary are lagging behind schedule.
"It froze last November and it didn't unfreeze until March," said Dan
Petsch, Grand Island Public Schools coordinator of building and grounds.
That meant relatively little work could be accomplished on the new
Engleman's office addition on the east side of the building and the
four-classroom kindergarten addition on the school's north side.
Of course, this spring and early summer's rainy weather has made it
hard to catch up on those two additions to the new Engleman, which
originally was Westridge Middle School.
Water standing in the ditch on the school's east side is a silent
testament to just how wet this spring and early summer have been in
Grand Island.
Petsch said the original schedule called for teachers to move from the
old Engleman Elementary to the new Engleman in October when there is a
short break in the class schedule.
