ECISD heater repair efforts focus on priority campuses
Weatherford and ECISD officials describe a two thirds fixed heater backlog with two days to fix at many campuses. The district prioritizes special education, then elementary, and works late or through lunch to respond, though weekends are rare due to supply house hours. If a heater is out for days, students may move to libraries or cafeterias and parents are notified only if the outage affects the whole campus. Rooftop heaters run mainly on gas and temperatures next week are forecast in the 50s and 60s.
