One year ago, the remnants of Hurricane Ida destroyed the middle and highs schools in Cresskill. Students have not been back since. That, however, will change next Tuesday, the first day of the new school year. VMurdockTV has the story.
. Ida left the building standing, but decimated the school, said Michael Burke, the superintendent of Cresskill Schools.In the boiler room, floodwater filled all four boilers half way up. Replacements now sit on much higher ground.Outside, mighty walls wait to protect the school if water rises again. And the sound of the power washer grabs your attention. Inside, it's the drone of fans.
In addition, microscopes need to be dusted, clocks set, and hallways cleared. Right now, workers fill them feverishly trying to get ready for the big day. Much of the school still needs a full cleaning, but many classrooms are ready and waiting for students to fill the pristine seats. Teachers, who will return later this week, need to set up their classrooms.
On Sept. 6, everyone will be back, all day. The school's doors will open to a lot of pomp and circumstance, including a ribbon cutting and a performance by the marching band. Students that spoke to CBS2 said they're excited, if not a little apprehensive.
