The USD-373 Board of Education learned Monday evening that a previous administration failed to turn in a $1.1 million insurance claim related to roof damage from a 2016 hailstorm. Finance Director David Decker said Facilities Director Chris Schaeffer mentioned to him during the fall that he might want to look into an old claim that went dormant. He said, based on that lead, he and Schaeffer were able to get the claim reopened. Just last week, the district was notified it would be receiving a $1.1 million check from the uninvestigated claim. “That money, of course, is all going to be earmarked, because there’s real damage that needs to be repaired,” he said.
