The 1 year old Ravenswood Grade School is unsafe as bell vibrations threaten safety. Jackson County Board of Education halted the bell on McCoy Engineering Co. advice. Floors are too weak for student weight and roof timber dry rot worsens danger in snow and wind. Safety repairs estimated at 420000, enough to build a new building.
