With it comes some potentially large price tags.

Tonganoxie USD 464 Superintendent Lyn Rantz presented information earlier this month to the school board about what various options might be for renovating the soon-to-be former school.

A recent feasibility study on modernizing the longtime school listed out cost estimates for the various areas of the current school.

• Area A, the north gymnasium, comes with an estimated cost of $267, 855.

• Area B, the office, south gymnasium and second-grade rooms, are estimated at just more than $669,300 for renovation costs.

• Area C, the first-grade rooms, were priced at just more than $482,000 for modernization.

• Area D, the existing fourth-grade rooms, library and computer room, would cost about $640,350 to renovate.

• Area E, the current kindergarten and third grade rooms, is just more than $500,000.

And the district remodel for 24 offices, two conference rooms and technology would cost nearly $769,000.

That would be a total cost of nearly $3.3 million.

Paving of the parking and play area would be an estimated $284,000 and additional sidewalks would cost an estimated $108,000.

As for the option of demolition, costs are unknown currently for the tearing down of the main building, as well as removal or demolition of the Quonset hut and trailers.

There’s also confirmed asbestos in the cafeteria and some rooms in the south wing. The substance currently is sealed, so it is not a health risk. However, if demolition were to occur, the asbestos would need to be removed.

Estimates do not include electric, mechanical or plumbing costs.

Rantz noted the district was weighing all options for the building’s future.

Previous suggestions have been to remodel the school into a community center that could house city hall and school district offices.

Officials will continue to look at what options are best for the district and the community, whether that’s selling the building, repurposing it in some capacity or demolition.
