Correct the inappropriate shift in verb voice or mood by rewriting the sentence below.

"When we searched the school for damage, a broken window was discovered."

I wouldn't use the word "discovered" it just seems a bit off. I'd rewrite the sentence with a simpler word yet easy to say and understand: "When we searched the school for damage, a new broken window was found." I hope this helps you. My apologies if this is incorrect.
