There will be a new addition to the front of Hood River Middle School. A temporary boiler system is being brought in to replace the school’s 98-year-old boiler that suffered a catastrophic failure in June. Superintendent Dan Goldman says the temporary system will have to be placed at the front of the school along May Street because the boiler room is located there. He adds with the age of the entire system, it will be a very complex and expensive fix. Goldman did say the district has the money to cover the replacement without dipping into the general fund. But he also noted the district has the same type of boiler of the same vintage at Parkdale Elementary School.
