what happened and i just spoke to a construction supervisor and he tells me the reason this building is damaged has to do with what happened on the 22nd. the main building caught fire and spring letters went off inside the building inside that building which is how the building was damaged from water because of sprinklers inside. they lost an art studio, a lunchroom and also a community room is unavailable. >> i think we all feel very fortunate that our school is still intact, we were not in session and nobody was her. >> reporter: so the principal says essentially they are making everybody -- they are closing school today not because they are not ready but so that everybody could a absorb what happened.
