Three schools in West will have to be demolished

WEST, Texas — The West Independent School District board of trustees learned Monday that three of its four schools will have to be demolished in the wake of the April 17 fertilizer plant explosion.

The district's high school, intermediate school, and most of its middle school were damaged by the blast.

A construction company that has reviewed the three schools told trustees that only the gymnasium at the middle school can be repaired; the other structures must be rebuilt.

The estimated price of the repairs was not available.

has his assets well hidden offshore. The school's insurance (if they have it) will have to pay.

Perps like this never pay for the harm they do.

help any of the residents or the victims' surviving families.

There needs to be criminal charges if they won't be financially responsible.
