>> New $27M Fairborn Primary building nearly complete
Personal items from teachers also were damaged after moving into the school about three weeks ago.
The flood is still under investigation, however the failure of two T-clamps and a flange have been identified as the cause, the release said.
Ceiling tiles and drywall are being replaced now, and orders are being processed for new flooring and cabinetry.

District officials had not responded to additional questions from the Dayton Daily News.
The $27.3 million building is replacing a 60-year-old building at 4 W. Dayton-Yellow Springs Road and was set to welcome preschoolers, kindergartners, first-graders and second-graders on Aug. 17.
With work on the school continuing, district leaders are hopeful that the flooding will not cause delay to the opening.
More information will be provided to parents and students as soon as it becomes available and will be posted online at: www.fairborn.k12.oh.us.
