tookie8888 apparently they had toxic mold on them, but then again, can't things be cleaned or something?

It could be tooo dangers and expensive probably better to get new ones

I understand completely what you are saying, however the liability for the district for the conditions of used furniture is too great. When a school gets new furniture, they contract with the manufacture for conditions such as liability and warrenty. Yes they should action them off as surplus in a bidding package, that will bring in some money and pass it on legally out of the district "as is". I have a relative who works for a district and some time back a school was being remodled with the front offices being moved, including the book room. The new room included new shelving, so the old heavy duty adjustible shelving units (less then 10 years old) were going to be busted up and dumstered by the contractor. Cheaper for them to order new, then to unscrew the units from the wall and move them across the building. With permission from the contractor and principal, about 7 of these now line my garage wall free. 😉

And all the books and games, there are so many resources.

Yes! I think how would I feel if it were my elementary school! Heart broken...

it's a liminal space!

its kinda sad I actually went to this school for a year or two before it closed

ivoryceleste ღ Yea

Paige Fields what’s it called?

nice, but how would the school get a invalid testing scam? Did the school do something to their students? I am so confused

@@angelina2360 More like they lied about test scores...

I tried to pull it up to read about it but can’t find anything

Really they landed in some hot water

Grotesquely Creative Stoods maybe by the time they closed, it was so dangerous to be in there that health officials found it too dangerous to even do that!

Sarah Spindler agreed. I’m a teacher and there’s no way in hell I’d leave that stuff in my classroom unless I wasn’t able to retrieve it for some reason.

Really!

Maybe they kept thinking they’d have time and then it was too late

Yeah, this isn't Chernobyl ...

Exactly! I don’t understand why the homeless don’t just band together and squat these abandoned buildings. That’s what I did when my only other choice was to sleep on the street. I found an abandoned loft with electricity, cleaned it up, put a new lock on the door, and gave keys to my other friends on the street. We made music and art together and took care of each other with whatever little we had. Why would you choose to sleep on the street?

@@avandeville You could be charged for trespassing, though.

Michelle Wolfe we could’ve been, but all the tenants were familiar with the cops in the small town and they let us stay there so we weren’t on the streets. they also knew we weren’t doing anything too illegal inside, as we were mostly law abiding citizens lol

It could be turned into apartments

kate elam Cool!

Or as a new school or government building

They did that in Eugene , OR. Apartments, then changed them to condos.

They did that to an old high school in the downtown area of Grand Rapids Michigan. I'm not sure how long it was abandoned before they redid it into apartments, but you can't even tell it used to be a school. We have tons of old unused buildings just sitting around down there, so it's cool that they actually did something with one of them

I imagine my desk like a bed because sometimes I bring stuffed animals to school to help me calm down

They did that with this one building in Seattle. You see this big building on a hill next to radio towers.

The Ron Clark academy does and its hogwarts themed

My school did.

It seems like there was a focus on gymnastics at the school

Laura Anne yea AGREEDED

I know right!!

ImNotAwaffle any place thats abandoned makes me sad I don’t know why either 😂😂

Maybe because of all the memories made there. Everyone of us has had at least a couple good days at school, and especially at an elementary school.

They must've been doing really poorly. My mom used to work at a high school that wasn't in a great part of town and didn't have a lot of money. It looked like it was stuck in 1986

@@curewhipandnaenae Actually, private schools (on average) typically lag behind in technology when compared to public schools. Whether they were doing poorly or not has nothing to do with why their technology was outdated.

@@curewhipandnaenae my college welding program used the weld shop in a highschool like that. it looked exactly like the highschools from 80s movies and they still use vhs and crt tvs to this day. one classroom has laserdisk

Lol i see modern schools with the same computers

The school I used to go to opened up in like, 2001 and there's still the old big tvs hanging on the walls of the classroom

I know this is two months late lol, but I find it really sad that the reason they left it all behind was because they were promised they could return once everything was taken care of, and well... we know how that went. In fact, there’s a five episode show about Chernobyl(literally just called Chernobyl), and it taught me a lot when I watched it. It has really gory and disturbing scenes so be careful if you feel like watching it. Another interesting thing about Chernobyl today is that, the clothes of the firefighters that went to battle the flames of the exploded core are still in the hospital and are still deadly radioactive to this day. No one can touch it because of how dangerous they still are. It’s an interesting, and kinda disturbing fact. I hope you have a nice rest of your day/night/evening :>

I worked at a school that closed. We took out personal belongings but things belonging to the school stayed in the building. Lots of good stuff left behind.

That's where all the budget went lol

That’s what I was wondering

Schools tend to keep equiptment until it's unusable, like the old box tvs. Thats mainly to save money. Like my highschool still uses the old box tvs, in 2020. So yeah having 90s stuff is normal in private schools, that usually lack funding for new stuff.

Its probably because it was a religious school, most very religious schools are behind on technology, mostly because of funding or just dont want to change.... Mostly funding.

i could see them using windows 7 back in 2014 honestly. My work we still use windows 7 and soon they will upgrade to 10. Alot of schools/hospitals etc. always use an older windows system it seems, and upgrades years after the new one is released.

Some schools still want to use stuff from the 90s because they don’t have the money or just plain don’t want to update 🧐 My elementary school was like that lol

Must've been a tax write off lol

Lmao

Thats exactly what I try to do the most. Keep names away. People love untouched places without vandalism. And sadly I've seen so many AMAZING structures arsoned, or just destroyed and thats not ok! To sum it up, humans suck.

Minimum power is required to keep exit signs lit, fire alarm system, and boiler running for liability and to prevent water pipes from freezing. This will sometimes also include lights near exit doors. Clearly the city or school district still is maintaining the school to some degree.

Why did this school close just asking

@Joe Biden BuildBack Perhaps it's the fact that time has passed, the kids are now probably teens or adults, but the school just sits there trapped in a time long gone.

@Joe Biden BuildBack Someone in another post claimed it was shut down in 2014 over a testing scandal. I have no idea if that's true or not. It does look as if the place is being maintained to some extent if six years have passed. But it could be six or ten or twelve. Some of the items in the school, like the VHS tapes and PCs, really appear to be vintage items.

@Joe Biden BuildBack Actually, when I replayed it, there's a calendar that is stuck on October 2014, so it looks like 6 years is about right. I had to zoom in on it to see the date clearly when it appeared on screen.

@Joe Biden BuildBack If it's 2014, they're likely just teens at this point. And, I agree, it seems like a waste at this point in terms of the supplies and equipment just sitting around. Some of the building's starting to deteriorate from roof leaks.

Imagine the chair moved by itself

It's only been vacant for half a decade

trindabrat yes

Yeah if I were there, I would’ve taken some of those tapes and books.

If the kids were 10-11 in 2014 at highest then they would be turning 17-18 this year because they were born in 2003-2004 If the kids were 9 they would be turning 16 If the kids were 8 they would be turning 15 And so on

bro i saw the logo and i was like “mf STEAM????” ☠️☠️☠️

steam was around in 2000, the school closed down in 2014. a 6th grader probably installed it in its last years

That’s just who made the old furnace. “The Donley Brothers Co” or something... ...”Cleveland Ohio” This could have been installed in any state.

i wouldnt release to much personal info on the net like u just did but then again you use your real name so you obviously dont care

That was a door to a Furnace marked by the manufacturer, Donley Brothers of Cleveland, OH. It was established in 1895 and through the years, provided products to many builders. That could be in Fairbanks, Alaska, for all anybody knows.

Everyone left before getting their supplies back…

My school got remodeled last summer and it’s nothing but glass windows everywhere. They claim it’s “bullet proof” but when you’re constantly in it walking around it makes you feel pretty uncomfortable

My high school has at least one window in every classroom, but none in the teacher’s lounge.

My high school hasn't changed it still looks the same when it was built in the 30s

Tell me about it the high school I graduated from had windows but most of the classrooms didn't have access to them :/

At my high school there were lots of windows in the rooms that could have windows. A lot of rooms were boxed in the middle so no windows of course that's when it would feel like a jail cell

Could have been the principal's personal break room and they probably cut food up

TheTechPianoPlayerKid there probably was a kitchenette in the office,maybe?

School shooters:attackers need knives to the head?

nancy ann LiBtArD 😫😱💯😞👊

At my old elementary school, they had a little kitchen in the office for faculty and staff to use. One time, after we went on a field trip to a local apple orchard, our teacher used some of the apples we helped pick to make little apple pies for us. It was like a learning thing and also a thing for faculty and staff to make their own food.

So that computer has been on since 2014? Pretty interesting.

Glowing Dragon22 Yeah no the thermal paste on that thing was probably already ancient, the heatsink probably would've died too. Id say they turned it on for the laughs and giggles.

@@andreaxgi That article is for a different school. If you look at images of the playground and outside walls of the school it looks completely different from the outsides and playground of THIS school. Also, don't you think that if THIS ONE closed down due to a scam, they would have WENT BACK to get their belongings? You can also see panels of the ceiling missing and books that have been left open as if students were reading and then just put it down as if they had to leave immediately due to an emergency. Clearly this is a different school than the one the "23 people" were talking about. If I had to make an inference on what happened, it's that there was a huge fire and the fire was so severe that they could no longer use the school, and judging by their outdated technology, they didn't have the sufficient funds to fix it. However, some of the rooms and items (like the VHSes and books, not to mention the Windows XP computer that still works, and even has Steam installed) are intact and don't look burned down at all, so maybe it really wasn't a fire. But it had to be some sort of emergency or disaster that caused them to just abandon it.

Yeah, no way anyone would come back in and try turning things on. That would never happen, huh?

But why

Well many are saying that the school closed because of a testing scam. When I hear 'testing scam' I think of school officials helping students cheat or perhaps changing the answers to help students (and the school) get a higher grade. But why would that cause everything to look as if people had to leave in a hurry (e.g. books out as if students were looking at them one minutes but quickly had to leave the next minute, etc)? Seems like I remember something like a testing scam happening in Atlanta sometime around 2014.

Syzygy_Cat A I graduated from my HS back in February, actually left in January before the second semester starts at the end of January, and throughout the majority of my HS years, 2016-2020, we’ve seen this HUGE transformation of the campus with demolition of 5 old buildings and building 2 3-story new buildings! But I really enjoyed seeing this transformation, as a matter of facts, my HS is the 2nd LARGEST HS in North Carolina with average of 35,000 students there. And my HS first started in 1951. But I can see a similar transformation with yours.
