Structural woes push Tohatchi Middle School into relocation
Staff at Tohatchi Middle School face a deteriorating building due to earth movement and widespread heaving. Cracks in cinderblock walls, buckling doors, loose ceilings, and falling tiles endanger safety. The district plans funds from a $15 million bond to address the issues, with portable classrooms considered, though bids failed and replacement is debated. The 1967 structure lacks modern accessibility and may need a complete rebuild or special foundation like that used at nearby Tohatchi High School.
