Recycle, Reuse, Renew! - JAIS & CWC Now Col. Wm Casey and John Adair are empty, awaiting leveling. The surplus auction sale brought in over $23,000. Now as much of the building structural material will be reused as possible. The demolition awaits bid preparation from Gabe Jones of Sherman, Barnhardt, & Carter, the architects, for asbestos abatement and the demolition which may be let in one contract or two separate ones. Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne Media Coordinator, Adair County School District When Col. Wm. Casey and John Adair were closed, other schools and staff from across the district took the opportunity to reuse any and all of the furniture, equipment, teaching aids, and kitchen items left behind. The unneeded objects remaining, combined with other surplus items from across the district, were cataloged and stored to be auctioned. With the surplus sale now over, Col. Wm. Casey and John Adair are just shells waiting for their next fate. Their halls are no longer ringing out with laughter or echo with lessons from across the way. Yet, it is a sign of progress and the new philosophy here at the Adair County School System. Recycle, Reuse, Renew! The surplus sale brought in over $23,000! This money will be added to our general fund and will be used to purchase supplies. So what's next? Superintendent Alan Reed made it plain he is ready to proceed with the next stages of progress for the Adair County School District which are the removal of the old schools. He stated: ""I'm glad the surplus property is now off the campus because it will allow us to move forward with step #2 in the demolition of the two schools which is asbestos abatement. As soon as the final bills are in for the construction of the new Adair County Primary Center, I will ask the Kentucky Department of Education to allow us to go ahead and bid the asbestos removal and disposal." Of course the next logical questions is: When will bricks start flying? Mr. Reed said: "Until our architect (Sherman, Carter, Barnhardt) writes the bid specs and develops the demolition plan, we are unsure if we could combine the asbestos removal with the rest of the demolition. One thing is certain---our board will choose options that save us the greatest amount of money." And then the biggest question has been: What happens to the land after the buildings are gone? Superintendent Reed made this statement ""Our master plan calls for development of a practice field for the Adair County Band on the footprint of the two schools set to be taken down, and early site preparation for that project may be part of the full demolition of both CWC and JAIS. It would be much easier and much less expensive to go ahead with leveling up that area while heavy equipment is on the site." Recycle, Reuse, Renew! That is the theme of the our district this year. All in the hopes of becoming as efficient as possible. In the words of my grandmother Pauline Rogers, Waste not - Want not! I think we are without question on the right track.
