(Kennedale, TX) — A school in Kennedale that suffered water damage over the weekend will be closed for repairs for the rest of the school year.

The Kennedale ISD superintendent made the announcement at an emergency board meeting on Monday night. As of Monday, the 380 students at James A. Arthur Intermediate School will move to two other campuses. A major water pipe burst on Saturday, flooding the first floor with five-inches of water.
