New Ottawa school eyed to replace Lincoln Elementary
Ottawa School Board seeks building a new school to replace Lincoln Elementary at 728 N. Cedar St. due to structural failures and crowding. Lincoln Principal Ron Brummett cites two classes in one room and lack of space for special education, with expansion ruled out as site is landlocked. The district envisions a fresh start with modern facilities and proper classrooms.
