BEAVER DAM -- Officials with the Beaver Dam Unified School District announced on Thursday, Aug. 29 that all areas of the middle school will be operational for the first day of classes with the exception of the gym, locker rooms and library.
Police say a driver blew through stop signs while fleeing from officers late Wednesday night, Aug. 21 in Beaver Dam. That driver struck the Beaver Dam Middle School and caused more than $500,000 in damage.
In a news release, officials say the "middle school has been cleaned and remediated including ceiling tiles, air ducts, lockers, floors, walls, etc. Each room at the middle school has been tested by a certified third-party hygienist and deemed safe for occupancy."
