Kaneland High School roof damaged from storms

Kaneland High School in Maple Park.

The Kaneland High School campus in Maple Park remains closed to the public today after the roof of a gym was damaged in this week’s storms.

According to Assistant Superintendent Julie-Ann Fuchs, the east gym roof was damaged early July 5. The inside of the gym was not impacted.

“We had a roofing company install a temporary roof yesterday while we make plans for a permanent repair,” Fuchs said in an email on Wednesday.

The campus will reopen to the public on Monday, July 11 after a structural engineer reviewed the damaged roof earlier today and deemed it safe to occupy, she said.

“We had some pre-scheduled cleaning that will be taking place [Thursday], and the building is closed on Fridays in the summer,” she said.
