Bradley County’s Blue Springs Elementary School was hard hit by the April 27 tornadoes.CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Blue Springs residents are trying to keep their elementary school from becoming a tornado casualty.
Parents and others met Friday at Freedom Fellowship Church, not far from the school building heavily damaged by the April 27 tornadoes.
Expressing fear the school might be closed, community residents explored options with Bradley County school board member Christy Critchfield.
“What I want for your community is a new school,” Critchfield told the audience.
The community might find churches willing to house the kindergarten through fifth-grade students of Blue Springs for the next school year beginning in August, Critchfield said.
