DETROIT (WWJ) -- Over the holiday break, water pipes at Southeastern High School in Detroit broke, flooding most of the classrooms and forcing a shift to online learning for the foreseeable future.
As announced on the Southeastern website, the high school -- located on St. Jean, near Mack Ave -- is closed Monday after broken pipes caused extensive flooding and water damage. Officials say it will take nearly two months to complete the necessary repairs.
Efforts are being made to find and approve a temporary building for in-person or hybrid classes.
In the meantime, students and teachers will shift to online learning, with virtual classes starting Thursday, January 12.
Students can pick up laptops and internet hotspots on Tuesday and Wednesday. A sign-up sheet for borrowing laptops is posted to the school website.
Grab and Go meals will be available to students on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, and on Mondays and Thursdays going forward.
The gym was not damaged, so athletic programs will likely continue on a modified schedule once arrangements are made.
Finally, an online meeting will be held Monday at 5 p.m. to update parents, students and staff. The meeting link is available on the Southeastern website.
