Charlie Holmes is reporting in The Daily Mail the Cairo-Durham Board of Education has taken action to acquire a piece of property located at 404 County Route 23B in Cairo, directly adjacent to the district's elementary school. The parties reached an agreement last week, and the board passed a resolution to move forward with the acquisition Tue., Jan. 12. Cairo-Durham Superintendent Mike Taibi said the parcel includes a dilapidated, condemned house. The district will demolish the building to make way for additional parking space at the elementary school. "It would...remove an eyesore in the community and add a much nicer looking entrance to the elementary school," Taibi said. The superintendent confirmed the house contains asbestos, but said a condition of the sale would be for the seller to remove the material. Taibi said purchasing the property made economic sense for the district. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
