Officials have temporarily closed a nearly 100-year-old school in west Michigan due to structural concerns.
Grand Rapids Montessori Middle High School and Innovation Central High School contractors raised concerns about the structural integrity one of the auditorium walls. This was due to possible compromising deterioration. Grand Rapids Public Schools stated on its website.
Innovation Central is home to the Montessori school. Wednesday classes were canceled at the building.
District leaders announced that the area was blocked off because of construction. However, new information led to them cancelling classes at the building to investigate further and ensure safety for scholars and staff.

Larry Johnson, the district chief of staff, stated that water has been entering the building through its roof over the years.
Due to structural issues, a Michigan school had to close Wednesday. The school will likely reopen Monday for students.
He said, “We wanted to get students out so that they didn’t increase their anxiety about seeing a bunch people running around with hard-hats and taking photos of things of that nature.”
