CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Skidmore students won't be moving into the new high school when classes start back up in the fall.
Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District Superintendent Rick Waterhouse said that due to the scarcity of materials -- students will have to wait a little longer for the new building.
"It's been supply chain and key things, HVAC and steel and masonry things that you wouldn't think would be affected," he said.
3NEWS was told that 70 percent of the steel joists are in place and that 45 percent of the roof deck is installed.
The district passed a $14.6 million bond to build the new high school, but that cost has gone north of $18 million because of prices going up.
Now, when students do move in, they will be leaving a building that first opened up in 1953.
