Students at an Akron charter school got a few more unexpected days of summer break.
Main Preparatory Academy at 1035 Clay St. had a fire in its building in July and officials have been working to repair the damage for today’s first day of school.
But during a building inspection on Wednesday, the fire marshal recommended delaying the opening until Tuesday. The school had already gotten approval by a building inspection for partial occupancy.
“We want to emphasize that this should not affect our school year in any way other than that our Main Prep students get two extra days of summer break this year! The remainder of the year will proceed as scheduled and expected,” the elementary charter school said on its Facebook page.
