Just write like you talk. By the time you are finishing telling the story with your fingers on the keyboard, you will have your blog done. Double up on time. Time is a wasting….

What kind of insurance does the district have on the school? Used to be when a large old building burned in town you could usually see that it was clearly in the interest of urban renewal. In this case???? Take the insurance money and spread the kids around? Most likely not, but I remember watching many of the old buildings not worthy of rebuild or in disrepair in town burn down and they were often replaced by Bank buildings or housing and Starbucks. Look out Clover Building and Herald building

As of last Friday, school officials told me they expect their insurance policy to cover the full amount of their loss. It’s early yet. Much to be learned and written. Stay tuned.
