HARTFORD — Repairs at McDonough Expeditionary Learning School after last month’s partial ceiling collapse are expected to cost $80,000 and should be completed before students return in August, school officials said.
A section of the ceiling in McDonough’s room 219, and a lighting fixture attached to it, fell June 6 while class was in session, leaving a teaching intern and 13-year-old student with minor injuries. The district has decided to replace four classroom ceilings, including the one that collapsed.
