Kennedy Elementary to be demolished
By Raul Garcia
A bid request by the Mercedes Independent School District was sent out through the mainstream media notifying the public that MISD is ready to tear down John F. Kennedy Elementary.
MISD first shut the doors to Kennedy Elementary School in 2007 when it found its new design had engineering deficiencies.
The school housed over 700 students and 50 teachers day-to-day. They were re-located to another location in 2007 at a cost of 230 thousand dollars.
As of now the district reported to Channel 4 News that its been paying 5,000 dollars monthly for the maintenance of the school.
No information has been reported as to what will be done with the property or if another school will be built so that students can return to class at Kennedy.
The district’s lawyer reported that the district received 3 million in settlement fees.
