The district must begin looking at what type of structure willreplace the “Old Green Building” on the West Lincoln AttendanceCenter campus, Superintendent Terry Brister told board membersMonday.

In order to claim insurance money, he said, the district mustreplace the building.

“We have to go back with something comparable,” he said. “Theyonly way we can collect that insurance is to put somethingcomparable back on that site.”

Brister said he has received numerous telephone calls fromresidents asking if the insurance money could be split among allcampuses or placed in a West Lincoln fund for future needs.

“It cannot be split among the schools or collected just to sitin a fund for a school,” he said. “It must be used for a buildingthat is comparable to the one we lost.”

The Old Green Building, West Lincoln’s original schoolhouse, wasalready slated to be torn down when it was destroyed by a fire lastyear. It would have been torn down once a new structure had beenbuilt. The school housed several classrooms and was used forstorage, including for athletic uniforms and band supplies.

In other matters, the board approved the purchase of a new worktruck. Three old vehicles will be phased out with the purchase.

Brister said the new truck would be used to ferry mechanics toschools to repair buses and other district vehicles, unless therepair requires the vehicle be brought to the mechanics shop.

“We wear out buses and drivers going back and forth,” he said.”I want them to be fixed at the site (where they break down) unlessthere’s something majorly wrong with them.”
