DENVER—A company that built a school in northwest Colorado that was closed to students after an inspection found it failed to meet building codes says repairs are needed at another school elsewhere.
The Denver Post reports ( ) part of the roof at Sargent Junior-Senior High School near Monte Vista is at risk of collapse if it bears 10 inches of snow or more.
Sargent School Superintendent Philip Compton says Neenan Co. agreed to pay for repairs above a physical-education and wrestling room. Neenan recommended that students be barred from the room “out of an abundance of caution” until repairs are made before students return in January.
Neenan also built Craig Middle School, which closed after an inspection uncovered problems. Neenan has fired an engineer who worked on both schools.
