Principal Renee Lamastus and superintendent Dr. Lisa Bramuchi took immediate action to find a home for the displaced students. Communication between Dr. Ennis and Dr. Bramuchi concluded that DSU would open their doors to the Hayes Cooper family beginning Tuesday, April 16th. Days after the incident businesses in Cleveland entertained the students, faculty, and families of the Patriots that started Friday with a snow cone day at the Martin and Sue King Railroad museum and then continued on Monday at Harmony Bowling Alley for two days of fun and distractions. Bramuchi updated the community in a press release on Friday, April 12 that stated the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department, Atmos Energy, and related agencies were had begun an inspection of the incident. While the campus was cleared after a first and second sweep, the safety of the students and teachers was the main concern.
