He's hopeful that school will resume on Monday with those students from the affected rooms moved elsewhere in the school, like the gymnasium.
While Tyler said he appreciates the response from the community so far, he said the school isn't asking for any volunteer help with the cleanup at this point. The school's insurance will cover the damage and repairs.
