IN DALLAS WHERE JEFFERSON HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL CALL HOME
SOON.
JEN.
Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT.
THOMAS EDISON IS GOING TO BE
THE NEW HOME FOR THOMAS
JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL, A FAST
TURN AROUND.
THEY HAVE LESS THAN 24 HOUR TO
MOVE OUT OLD RECORDS AND FILES
SO TEACHERS CAN MOVE IN AND GET
READY TO SET UP THE CLASSROOMS
TODAY.
THE DISTRICT HAS JUST A DAY TO
GET THE BUILDING READY BEFORE
WELCOMING 1900 STUDENTS
TOMORROW MORNING.
EDISON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
CLOSED TWO YEARS AGO AND BECAME
A TRAINING FACILITY FOR THE
DISTRICT.
IT WILL BE CONVERTED INTO THE
SCHOOL SERVING STUDENTS UNTIL
AT LEAST THE FALL OF 2020.
JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL IS ONE OF
THREE DISD CAMPUSES EXPECTED TO
BE A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE
TORNADO.
TEACHERS WERE NOT ABLE TO TAKE
ANYTHING WITH THEM.
THE BUILDING IS STILL UNSAFE,
BUT THE DISTRICT AND TONATIONS
ARE HELPING TO FILL --
DONATIONS ARE HELPING TO FILL
THAT NEED.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WITH THAT
TYPE OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, IT
WAS UNSAFE TO GO BACK IN.
THEY'RE FINDING ALTERNATIVE
WAYS TO GET THE WHERE SOURCES
THEY NEED.
ALL INDICATIONS THAT EVERYTHING
WILL BE READY FOR WEDNESDAY
MORNING.
Reporter: ALSO HAPPENING
STAFF FROM JEFFERSON HIGH
SCHOOL WILL GO DOOR-TO-DOOR IN
THE NEIGHBORS, TALKING WITH
FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS
ABOUT THE RELOCATION.
DALLAS ISD IS WORKING ON
FINALIZING BUS ROOTS AND
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS FOR
STUDENTS AT ALL OF THE AFFECTED
SCHOOLS.
