Nashville schools' flood damage estimated at $1.66 million

Metro Nashville's public schools director called the district extremely fortunate to sustain as little flood damage as it did, although the total assessment may rise as the school year resumes this week. Jesse Register addressed the school board Tuesday, delivering the flood damage estimate of $1.66 million. In addition, the transportation department had to make 137 changes to the city's school bus routes to avoid damaged or inaccessible roads.
