CONESVILLE – A custodian at Conesville Elementary found an unpleasant surprise when he went into the computer lab in the school’s main building on July 18.

Part of the ceiling had come tumbling down and according to River View Local School District Superintendent Dalton Summers maintenance had to throw away approximately 25 to 30 pounds of debris.

“There is no evidence of water damage,” Summers said. “It just came down out of the ceiling. We don’t know if it was from settling or age. It could have caused severe problems if someone was in there but luckily no one was. It just missed the computers and so far we don’t think any equipment was damaged.”

Conesville Elementary School dates back to 1917 and had additions put on to it in 1935 and 1955. Today there are 345 students who attend the school.
