Lincoln School to be discussed April 7

    The Clear Lake School Board will finalize discussion regarding the future of the Lincoln School property at a public hearing set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 7, at the district’s Administrative Office.
    The School Board has held one public input session and has a committee developing criteria which can be used to evaluate options for the school property.
    Lincoln School, located at the corner of 8th Street and 4th Avenue South, will be closed at the completion of this school year.  First and second graders will attend classes in an addition to Clear Creek Elementary School in the fall.
    In other school district building news, the April School Board agenda will include a decision concerning the possible sale of the district’s Administrative Office.
    Superintendent Dwight Pierson told the Board an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 could be saved annually by selling the downtown building.  The property has been valued at $270,000 to $290,000.  It was purchased for $120,000 in 1999.
    Pierson said personnel from the office could be relocated into space now available at the Middle School.
