If an emergency maintenance need arises caused by wind, hail, fire, theft, explosion, deterioration resulting in sudden destruction to a vital piece of school equipment, or a traffic accident which would necessitate the closing of school while the school would otherwise be in session, or which would endanger the usefulness of remaining school property, the school board may take immediate action to correct such emergency maintenance need in accordance with the procedures provided in chapter 5-18A. An emergency maintenance need does not include the replacement of an entire school building.
