School renewal Before resuming classes, districts have to cover basic necessities By EMILY GUEVARA
THE ENTERPRISE
The Bridge City school district was no doubt among the most badly hurt by Hurricane Ike. District Superintendent Jamey Harrison told The Enterprise earlier this week that the district’s five campuses had “substantial damage.” Work crews still were removing moisture from the buildings Friday while Harrison predicted that school could resume as early as Oct. 6. “We’re going to have a full school year,” he told The Enterprise earlier this week. “Bridge City schools are going to be open.” It is one of 30 districts in the Southeast Texas region, the majority of which felt the sting of Hurricane Ike. From wind damage to flooding, school officials must juggle campus repairs along with the needs of their community. District administrators said they considered power, their staff and students, and their own philosophy when making decisions regarding school openings. The common thread for all districts is the presence of electricity. Almost every district cites functioning power, water and sewer

BRIDGE CITY — The driveway to Vance Hardy and Nancy Adams’ Bridge City home now is strewn with their collection of National Geographic magazines, marsh grass, a window screen and other almost unrecognizable possessions from their home. “Unbelievable,” said Hardy as he walked up the driveway for the first time.
