"I don't see the school board and district really making rebuilding Wasatch a priority," said Troy Bagley, whose daughter graduated from ninth grade and whose son will start junior high this fall. "The timeline is not realistic. They should be able to do this faster than three years."

Wasatch burned on July 11, 2005, when a computer server overheated.

The insurance company deemed the building only 40 percent destroyed, but Granite School Board members voted in April to rebuild the entire school due to safety issues.

"If we would have had the students back in the school in fall 2007, it would have looked pretty, but it would have had some serious seismic concerns," said Dave Gourley, assistant superintendent for support services. "It's added six months or so because we're in asbestos abatement and demolition again."

If the board had originally voted to tear the entire building down and rebuild, the construction would have been faster, Gourley said.

The insurance company will pay about $12.5 million and the board pitched in an additional $5 million. However, the district won't know how much the building will cost until a new bid is given in June 2007.

"I think it's high time the board presented both the Wasatch and Churchill communities with a very detailed and specific timetable and accounting of where money is going and what they intend to do," said Michelle Davidson, a member of Wasatch's PTA. "We're imposing on

Churchill for what was supposed to be only a short-term emergency situation."
