Etowah school construction

The Etowah county school system is set to begin destruction of a number of old school buildings to make room for new, more modern and up to date construction.   Destruction of the historic Duck Springs Elementary was the first to hit the wrecking ball this week and destruction at Glencoe Elementary is set for next week.  School officials say Construction should begin soon on both schools, as well as a new middle school at Sardis. Students are expected to be housed in portable buildings at Duck Springs and Glencoe during the coming school year, with hopes of being in new structures by the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year.
