Trinity may pour more money into Trinity South Elementary
Superintendent Thomas Turnbaugh recommended the district spend $400,000 more on the elementary school for improvements, including six classrooms in need of repairs.
Turnbaugh and an engineer for the district say the building, which has cracked foundations and heaving floors because of the expansion of pyrite beneath the foundation, is still structurally safe.
The board discussed whether to build a new school or fix the existing building. Turnbaugh said the district isn't in the financial position to build a new school.
The board will consider the expenditure and the scope of the work to be completed at its next meeting.
If the expenditures are authorized, it would add to the nearly $3.5 million already spent to repair the building.
