    Maloof Auditorium & Montclair Elementary Closed Due to Flooding

    Decatur Metro | May 3, 2010

    The AJC is reporting that both Montclair Elementary School up between Buford Highway and Clairmont Road and the Maloof Auditorium in downtown Decatur have been closed due to flooding.

    Montclair students were moved to Cross Keys High School after a creek near the school flooded.  The Maloof Auditorium had no such excuse.  It’s just a mess.

    County commissioners said the Commerce Drive auditorium’s roof is leaking and damaged several ceiling tiles.

    The commission announced Monday morning that it is moving its Tuesday meeting to the Decatur library auditorium on Sycamore Drive.

    “The roof has leaked to the point it was raining in the auditorium,” Commissioner Larry Johnson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Although the fallen ceiling tile debris is being removed, the carpet is wet. Getting it ready for tomorrow won’t happen with continued rain in the forecast.”

    An estimated repair cost was not immediately available.

      This problem happened the last time it rained (remember the commission meeting was at City Hall.) They could maybe get rid of some of the ‘excessive management’ positions and fix the building.
