Warren board chooses McGuffey school site

WARREN — The board of education, by a 3-2 vote, chose the current McGuffey School site on Tod Avenue Northwest for building its final K-8 building.

Board members Nedra Bowen and Linda Metzendorf have voiced concerns with the McGuffey site, and Tuesday night’s resolution did not change their views. They favored a Parkman Road Northwest location.

One reasonthe two board members voted against McGuffey is because some research shows there’s no room to expand, due to wetlands. The McGuffey Elementary building that has been there for decades will be demolished during the new building’s construction.
