# Plan would raze West Vigo Middle School as Terre Haute North and South become middle schools

## What happened
Superintendent Dr. Hensel told the oversight board the district's facilities plan would convert Consolidated Elementary into a middle school alongside Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South high schools.

He said West Vigo Middle School would be razed (demolished) to expand the high school campus there, one of eight elementary-school buildings across the district the plan would close or repurpose. [West Vigo Middle School to be razed, 1:02:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3JyoW5XM4&t=3738)
Modernizing those eight buildings instead of closing them would cost the district more than $10 million per building, and considerably more for some, it told the board. [Cost to modernize instead, 1:26:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3JyoW5XM4&t=5161)
