ICSD to demolish/develop old high school site
By Steven C. Smith The Independence Community School District (ICSD) board took action Monday night to move forward in demolition and development of the former junior/senior high school site. The school board heard from several residents in the neighborhood adjacent to the school. Speakers cited the board’s promise during the campaign to pass the referendum in 2011 to demolish the school within six months of the completion of the new school. The City of Independence had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with ISCD on March 10, 2014, which called for the city to purchase the school and property for $1.00 pending 60-day inspection period and exclusivity for 90 days.
