Roof concerns at Tudor and Wendler require snow-load limits while permanent work is planned

What happened

Anchorage School District reported structural roof needs at Tudor Elementary and Wendler Middle School; the affected areas are considered safe to occupy with snow-load controls. Engineers recommend keeping snow below 20 pounds per square foot while permanent structural improvements are planned.

Why it matters to families

The reported concerns affect four classrooms at Tudor and the library roof at Wendler, so families should know that occupancy depends on snow-load management while longer-term work is planned. The district did not report a closure.
