Meri Skilliter, Ada school superintendent, posted the following letter on the school website concerning updates for the 2020-21 school year.
I hope this update finds you enjoying some of the wonderful things summertime has to offer. I know that details about what school will look like when we return are on many people’s minds.
The Board and I thank those who came to our meeting and spoke on this subject. While I, too, have many questions (and few answers yet), I wanted to at least let you know the timeline we hope to follow in getting our plan to you.
Ada lifted its boil water alert this morning at 9:15 a.m.
The message is for r esidents at 221 East University, 220 East High St., and South Simon Street from East University to East Lima Avenue, South Park Avenue and North Park Avenue.
UPDATE AT 1 P.M. – South Simon Street between North Park and South Park Avenues is now open for through traffic. Please continue to proceed with caution, as the temporary road repair from the water main break on 6/22/2020 remains uneven.
A water main break occurring on Monday evening has temporarily closed South Simon Street north of North Park Drive to South Park Drive, according to the village of Ada.
The village asks residents to not attempt to drive through the work zone, as the ground may still be unstable until crews can get the trench backfilled and stabilized.
