Rebuilding Plans Begin For Burned School Library
June 20, 2011
Summer classes will resume tomorrow for Pollard-McCall School, and plans are underway to replace the media center destroyed by fire last Wednesday.
The summer program will return Tuesday, June 21, at the nearby Catawba Springs Baptist Church.
After insurance adjusters complete their work, work will begin on the demolition of the burned structure, which was built in 1998. Officials hope the demolition will be complete before school begins August 15. Then, work will begin to replace the media center and classrooms.
The cause of Wednesday’s fire remains under investigation, but preliminary information points toward an electrical problem.

this shouldn’t have happened. if it’s a fact that someone reported smelling something burning in that room a week earlier. someone dropped the ball. if the county was notified and a certified electrician found nothing, somebody is liable.
