LDC Classes Moved to Austin Elementary

(Press Release) – Eagle Pass Independent School District (EPISD) announces that the Learning Development Center (LDC) will relocate to Austin Elementary, while damage assessments and repairs are being made. LDC will remain closed from Monday, October 12, through Thursday, October 15, 2015.  The education of LDC students will commence at Austin Elementary School on Friday, October 16, 2015.   Students of LDC are expected to remain at Austin Elementary for a maximum of four weeks before returning to their home based campus.

Bus pickups will be at the same time, with a slight delay in return from school, as students will be transported home from the Austin Elementary facility.   Buses will be available for pick up each morning promptly at 8:30 a.m. from LDC.

Bus transportation can either pick up students from home, or if parents prefer, at LDC.

Currently, the Property Restoration Company “Belfor”, a leader in integrated disaster recovery and property restoration, is promptly and professionally assessing and targeting each issue due to the flooding from last Thursday.   By Belfor’s prompt and effective intervention, especially within the first 24 hours of the incident, EPISD can report that:

• Dehumidification & Drying recovery services have been provided.   A total of 50 fans have been placed in LDC, along with 20 dehumidifiers.
• Moisture readings are “dry” as of this morning.
• The Micro Ban Spray called “Shockwave” has been administered throughout the entire campus as a preventative measure of removal of any microorganisms.
• A flood cut or removal of 3ft. of sheet rock will be removed from the campus.

Belfor Property Restoration will provide a certificate of completion and verification of work once LDC is ready to house students.

We understand the strain that families have been under with the uncertainty of when the campus would reopen. Working together with parents, we can help students stay safe and ensure our schools remain open. EPISD will ensure a smooth transition for all LDC students, staff, and administration.
