Restoration work is progressing at New Milford High School. But Mayor Pete Bass says some of the work will have to wait until the fire investigation is completed. All of the 3rd floor work, except in the middle section of center hallway and 4 classrooms, has been completed. Soot cleaning is finished on the 4th floor with all of the areas prepared for fireproofing encapsulation. All progress on the 4th floor also excludes the center connecting hallway.
The Fire Marshal's Office continues to investigate the cause of the July 5th fire.
New Milford High School staff items have been boxed and secured. A process is being finalized now for staff to review and retrieve their desk items.

Parking, with priority for Seniors first, will be made available to students and families by mid-week as administrators update the registration portal. Once Senior needs are fulfilled, Juniors will have an opportunity.
