Construction Left School Unsafe, Lawsuit Says
The Wichita, Kan. School District has filed a lawsuit against four architecture and construction firms, claiming that the work they did on one of the schools in 2000 put the lives of students and teachers at risk due to poor construction. According to the lawsuit, the repairs to Hamilton Middle School, finished in 2004, left the school “structurally unsound and violated city codes and national construction standards.” The district is seeking $2 million in damages to cover the cost of repairs.
