The full list of repairs needed at Groff Elementary has yet to be released to the public because of ongoing litigation with Fowler General Construction for the campus’s deficiencies. However, Superintendent Carol Lewis said they have found issues with the electrical system, roofing panels, brick veneer on the outside of the building, the gym structure, drainage, a gate, concrete stairs, HVAC system, some kitchen equipment and the gym floor.

Groff repairs on schedule, campus to reopen 2026-27
MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake School District Superintendent Carol Lewis told the MLSD Board of Directors Thursday that Groff Elementary will open back up for the 2026-27 school year. While physical construction just began, assessments have been completed to ensure the campus’s deficiencies are addressed. “There's not a whole bunch of construction equipment crawling all over the campus and knocking things down and things like that,” Lewis said. “There is a lot going on that's starting to happen. It looked a little slow to outside observers at first, because there was a lot of assessment that had to be done, lots of people walking around with clipboards and things, and not necessarily the actual construction that needs to happen to fix that building.”
