Vancouver's newest high school is leaking so badly students will soon be sitting in portables while a contractor replaces all the windows and walls, the Vancouver School Board has confirmed. "Instead of it being a leaky house, it's a leaky school," he said on Tuesday. Now, after years of patching and small fixes, the school board and the province have decided it's time to launch a major repair job. Magee was the only school built by the Vancouver School Board at that time, and Lombardi said he is not aware of others suffering similar problems. Vancouver's leaky condo crisis developed when poor construction techniques allowed water to penetrate the outer walls and windows of thousands of multi-unit buildings.
