SYRACUSE - To build a new school, a school corporation has to take the process step by step. On Nov.4, the Wawasee School Board took another step to building a new North Webster Elementary school by agreeing to purchase two properties for $322,092, Don Huber, Wawasee Schools director of finance told the school board Tuesday. The two properties combined total 68 acres and are being sold by Joe Barrett and Richard Kistler.The properties are at the intersection of CRs 750E and 600N. The board approved the school corporation's financial report for October even though it contained an error that was not caught by the board until Huber was notified after the meeting. For the debt service fund, the beginning and the ending balances were both $265,206.55.However, disbursements were listed as $872,590, which would have made the ending balance more than $600,000 in the red.
