October 17, 2008 On the first day back at Weber Elementary today, students were welcomed to their rebuilt school through an arch of balloons in Weber's school colors. Since Weber was damaged from an arson fire on the last day of school in June, nearly 23,000 square feet of the building’s interior was re-built, the roof was replaced with new insulation and HVAC units, a new fire sprinkler system was added and the roof has been equipped with a motion sensor security system. Most of the fire restoration reconstruction was funded by the district’s insurance, but other school-wide upgrades were made possible through the support of Jefferson County taxpayers and the funding received from passing a 2004 bond issue.Weber students and staff started the 2007-08 school year in classrooms located in three other Arvada elementary schools.
