Students and staff at Perez Elementary have returned to their home campus after completing a temporary relocation period. The transition follows successful repairs to the school's air conditioning chillers by maintenance crews.
Why it matters
Educational environments require functional climate control to maintain safe and productive learning conditions for students. The repair process ensured that facilities met operational standards before classes resumed.
Over 600 students were impacted by the building closure during the maintenance project. The campus was temporarily moved to the former Amparo Gutierrez facility while repairs were conducted.
