A local school district is working to return to normal after being faced with significant damage due to a severe weather event. 

DeLand-Weldon Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Tresnak explains that just a few weeks ago, they were frantically moving items out of classrooms and trying to minimize water damage after part of the elementary school roof was damaged in a severe storm.

Dr. Tresnak states that after two days of hard work from the community, they were able to bring students back into the building and resume in-person education in other, non-damaged classrooms. 

The district is fortunate not to be taking a large financial hit due to the damage. Dr. Tresnak indicates that working with insurance has been easy, the roof is already repaired, and the calendar for the district only had to be pushed back by a single day. 

Dr. Tresnak is very grateful to everyone involved in getting the district back on track as they finalize repairs and recover from the damage. Learn more about DeLand-Weldon Schools at dwschools.org or by finding the district on Facebook.
