Demolition of the former board office was intentionally scheduled to begin the day after graduation in late May 2024 to avoid the regular school term. However, students were present at the adjacent Marlinton Elementary School during various phases of the project. Summer programs were conducted at the school from June 16 through July 25, 2024, and the regular 2024-2025 school year commenced on August 15, 2024.
Because the project faced delays following the discovery of additional asbestos, demolition work was still ongoing when the regular school year began in mid-August. This overlap necessitated rigorous safety protocols to protect students, including specific efforts to prevent rubble from falling toward the elementary school or its playground. During the process, a section of the Marlinton Elementary roof sustained minor damage, which was repaired by the demolition contractor after the building was brought down.
