UPDATE: Heating system working to full capacity at Guntersville Middle

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) The heating and cooling system is up and running at Guntersville Middle School.

School board officials say crews worked through Thanksgiving break to repair the system.

This week, it is fully functioning.

Weve repaired the system with a concrete pit and we hope that will be much more substantial than what we had before and will have few problems in the future, Principal Jeff Jones says.

Construction on the system was a scene that had been constant throughout the last few weeks.

School board officials say the system has not been fully operational in that time, and the repair process took longer than expected.

The system is not very old. The pit they had put in originally just did not hold up as it perhaps should have, Jones says.

Jones says they dont anticipate any more issues with the heating and cooling system.

School officials say when the unusually cold weather hit the Valley several weeks ago, they put space heaters in the classrooms. They say moving the students was not possible, and they did not want to take them away from class for that duration of time.
