The opening of the new multimillion-dollar Wilkerson Elementary was delayed after the building failed a second building inspection, Jefferson County Public Schools announced last Wednesday.
In a letter dated Friday and posted to the school’s Facebook page, Wilkerson Elementary Principal Sara Alvey said the new school on Johnsontown Road, which twice failed building inspections mostly because of roofing issues, received a temporary certificate of occupancy and would open for classes Sept. 12.
The new $17 million Wilkerson Elementary School building on Johnsontown Road welcomed students for the first time on Sept. 12.
