The effects of hurricane Dean...from the pages of the Jamaica Observer online

 
"Schools and colleges in Malvern sustained extensive damage. Heather Murray, principal of Hampton School for Girls, estimated damage to  classrooms, the IT lab, chapel and music room in excess of $30 million - much the same as was the case with Hurricane Ivan three years ago. There was also considerable damage at neighbouring Bethlehem Teachers' College, particularly the roof.
 
Meanwhile, three miles away at Munro, one of the island's leading boarding schools for boys, principal Branford Gayle estimated damage - placement cost - at close to $8 million. The school's library, which was re-roofed and restocked after Ivan at a cost of $3 million, again lost its roof along with books and computers that were stored there."
