The only reason the CES building has not been razed yet is the high cost of asbestos remediation that will have to be done before it can legally be razed. The school will not reopen but there is nothing stopping a new school from being built on the site other than money and the fact that the location is impractical.
Since the chiller was removed along with the extremely high ODP (ozone depletion potential) refrigerant the building has really begun to mold up. It wont be long before a SCBA tank will be required to enter the structure.

No but I understand the BOS has authorized the general services dept to begin taking bids to see if they can fit the demolition into the budget next fiscal year. I have heard that parks and rec would like to use that site at some point and I think that would be a good fit for the property as it already has a small athletic field as well as road access and parking lot in reasonable condition.

I recently heard on a news program that FFX County was in dire need of new elementary schools especially in the South Western portion of the county. Plans are to build three in the near future. Too bad there isn't one already built, in good solid shape, sitting vacant somewhere in the area. This would save the county tens of millions of dollars in construction cost. Too bad!

Admin area and the gym-multipurpouse area had dx with chilled water coils as well. This would allow those to areas to have A-C in the summer when school was out and the chiller was shut down. This is quite common in school buildings because the majority of the school is unused in the summer. They had an old Trane 100 ton recip that was still using R-12! It and the cooling tower have been removed. We recovered 215 pounds of R-12 out of it. There are a few worn out split dx systems that were put in for spot cooling here and there also.

Maybe as a charter or private school of some kind someday. Right now the county cant even tear it down unless they pay for the asbestos removal but they have gutted the plumbing and removed some of the heat&air stuff. No way in hell the county will ever open it as a school again.
The county kept the school open too long and put too little money into it to keep it safe. I pray none of those kids get lung cancer 20 years from now.

@cliftonite - that's pretty much what I hear from the school building workers about the whole thing - that it wasnt anything personal about Clifton, it was just that the building was old and not up to the standards other schools are in........and that fixing it up to standard would cost too much and tearing it down costs too much too LoLz

interesting how the same lady we all were vilifying just a few months ago may actually be responsible of INCREASING the lifespans of the children of the VERY SAME PPL who still hate her to this day......................

That was the problem. The asbestos was becoming more friable each year. The cost of the removal of the asbestos was going to be four times the cost of the much needed boiler replacement. The floor tile throughout the school is packed with asbestos as well and is starting to become friable. Other schools of this vintage received tile and hvac replacement years ago but the FCPS did not do the work to the Clifton property because they had intended to close it years before they finally did.

The fire and police vehicles could not even get up there to shut the water off, they had to hike through the woods. I think the county wants this old school building to rot away.

With the Budget shortfall why not just R&R, renovate and reopen, the school. It is still in good solid shape. A majority of the school was built in the 1980's after all. Not having to build another school will save the county tax payers tens of millions.

Yeah right! The 1950's ended almost 55 years ago. Assuming that you were a young investor at the time (30 to 35 years old) that would make you close to 90 (+-) years old. Many 90-year-olds post on this site? I think not.

FYI Mr.Investor...
The time period that you are talking about Clifton's agricultural lifestyle was unfortunately coming to a rapid end.
In the 1950's tracks of land and local farms were being gobbled up by land speculators and were subdivided. (These were the smart investors that actually knew what was going on and had a good pulse on the future. Good thing you made your "killing" elsewhere.)
By the early sixties subdivisions sprung up around Clifton that catered to those in the upper middle class. These included doctors, lawyers, and other professionals. Rugged types that wanted land, and often horses, and were NOT "afraid to get their hands dirty". Their weekends included almost endless toil in an effort to tame and maintain their acreage.
These days most of the newer houses built strictly cater more to the upper class professionals, that ARE "afraid to get there hands dirty". Very, if not most, often workers are brought in to do the dirty work around the newer type McMansion yards.

Boiler pipes froze last winter when the one working boiler cut out during extreme cold weather. Now there are pipe repairs in progress and yes they are going to re-fire that boiler that was installed in 1976. I dont understand why we dont raze the whole place. The asbestos removal has to be done before the building can be razed but what the hell, it's got to be done eventually.

As a student who attended Clifton at the time of its closing, I did struggle with it quite some time. In the few years I had been there, I had made many wonderful friendships, just to be torn away from them when I was sent to another school. My brother was in sixth grade when it closed and I did not understand why he was so distraught about the closing, he wasn’t the one who would be sent to a new school with less than 50 other Clifton students moving with him. He would be onto Robinson the next year with all of his friends, why would he be upset? When you graduate from Robinson, you have the opportunity to walk through the halls of your elementary school in your cap and gown, something that most of us would not be able to do. I still do not consider the elementary school I was sent to after Clifton to have been my elementary school, I would not want to walk through those halls. I will never forget how on my first day of school at my new school how my bus turned around in the Clifton parking lot, the school where I should have been getting off to walk through the welcoming doors to see all of my friends, instead we simply pulled a u-turn and drove off to the new school. I’ve come to peace with the fact that my school has closed, although I would never wish for this to happen to anyone else. Even though I may not fully understand the answer that the county gave us regarding why our school had been shut down, I will respectt their answer and know that it is what they believed was best for us. I’ll always remember the feeling of family within Clifton and how the whole town rallied around the school during the time of it’s closing. After the school board meeting that determined our fate, I did not understand why my teacher had been crying. I looked to my father and said “Why is she crying? Didn’t we win?”. When he responded and told me I wouldn’t be going back to Clifton the next year, it was an emotional that I’ll never forget, a feeling that all of us understood and will stick with us forever. In life, you don’t always get what you want, and even though sometimes it feels like the end of the world, the sun will still shine in the morning and you will find a way to cope with it. Although the closing of an elementary school doesn’t feel like a huge thing, to those who were involved, it was everything.

The roof on the old school is leaking bad in the back. The grounds of the school are now used as a bathroom for FCPD K-9 officers.
Closing the school was the right thing to do but the county should do something with that land, maybe sell it if they don't need it.
