Board Considers Options for Lowell and Bryant

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone School Board has still not taken official action on the future of two-vacated elementary school buildings, Lowell and Bryant. Lowell is now empty for a second winter and Bryant was vacated this past summer. Boone resident Chad Thompson has made an offer to the district of $100 for the two buildings, but the School Board has asked for more information about the intended use of the buildings. School Board President Dr. Jeff Anderson said this week that the intended use must be good for the neighborhoods and the community or the district will need to pursue demolition.
