Villa Cresta Elementary Closed Due to Cold

Baltimore County Public Schools issued the following statement on Wednesday, Feb. 18:

Villa Cresta Elementary School in Parkville will remain closed on both Thursday, February 19, and Friday, February 20, as repairs are made to the school’s heating and electrical systems damaged as the result of this week’s frigid temperatures.

The damage occurred over the past weekend when the building’s sprinkler system froze and flooded the boiler room at the school. Both the boiler and electric systems sustained damage, and without the ability to heat the building, the school was closed to students on Wednesday, February 18.

Repairs are expected to continue into the weekend, according to Baltimore County Public Schools’ physical facilities personnel. The school, which is located at 2600 Rader Avenue in Parkville, enrolls 675 students.
