"I'm sure I'm not the only parent that's frustrated right now," she says.

The administration building is also closed, several feet of water made its way inside the building.

The school board is also considering approval of an 80 thousand dollar contract for district-wide roof inspections as well as seeking approval to amend the district calendar for missed school time.

"It's very hard and until this day, we don't even know when the school will be ready," Neal says.

These parents are hoping that the discussion will speed things up in the recovery process.

Administrators tell us that there is no specific date to when the Administration building and Lucian Adams Elementary will be open.

"I can't get nothing from the school, administration or nothing, that makes me really angry," Graham explains.
