As SP Superintendent Tim Wilder spoke to school trustees Tuesday evening, work had begun on a sidewalk to allow Atwell Street bus access to first grade and pre-kindergarten Batesville Elementary School students. Not long into the school year, the walkway will be covered, Wilder said. On Thursday, “Hammer” Jackson (left) of Como spread sand in the forms as he prepared for the concrete to follow. In the background, the rubble from the burned school building has almost been cleared away. Photo by
