Bradley County’s Blue Springs Elementary School was hard hit by the April 27 tornadoes.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Bradley County Schools’ building needs haven’t changed much, even after the April 27 tornadoes, school officials say.
But now the priority list includes a new Blue Springs Elementary School building, too.
Schools Director Johnny McDaniel and school board Chairman Troy Weathers met Monday with the County Commission’s Finance Committee to review the education priorities list.
“Our priorities are still Lake Forest and Walker Valley,” Weathers told the committee.
At Lake Forest Middle School, the school board’s consensus seems to lean toward a new academic building to replace most of the cluster of leaking, aging, small buildings across the campus, McDaniel said. But the school system still must address the major leaks, he said, a costly project to keep the space available for children in the meantime.
