Ellis Middle School will get its leaks taken care of this summer, but Banfield Elementary School will have to wait.

The Austin Public Schools Board approved a roofing bid for Ellis while rejecting a roofing bid for Banfield at its regularly scheduled meeting Monday in the City Council Chambers.

Though the combined bids for the two projects came within 2 percent of budget, Austin’s Director of Facility Services Mat Miller recommended rejecting the Banfield bids “give us more breathing room.”

Six sections of the Ellis roof will be worked on.

“Our past experience has shown that we have quite a bit of wet insulation on roof sections across the district, and we’re just fearful that we’ll have that again on the Ellis section,” he told the board.

While both Ellis and Banfield were due to get roofing maintenance this year, Miller said it won’t hurt anything further to wait on Banfield’s roof.

The Ellis work is slated to start around July 1 and be completed before school starts this fall.
