The Shelby Eastern Schools board approved a bid Wednesday to replace a section of roof at Morristown Junior/Senior High School.

Danco Roofing Services, Inc., of Indianapolis, was awarded the bid at a cost of $321,535. The bid was the lowest of five bids received.

This will be the first time Shelby Eastern has utilized Danco for a project. The company recently finished a roof project for the Hamilton Southeastern school system, according to Shelby Eastern Schools Superintendent Dr. Todd Hitchcock.

The section of roof covers the junior high wing at Morristown Junior/Senior High School.

The roof replacement is scheduled to begin at the end of the current school year and be completed before the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
