GENEVA – Geneva resident Candan Spellman knows it’s hard to say goodbye to a beloved old building such as Coultrap Elementary School, but said during a public forum Saturday morning that sometimes buildings outlive their usefulness.

“I’m not seeing the point to save it,” she told members of the Geneva School District 304 board.

Spellman was among about two dozen adults gathered at Williamsburg Elementary School for 90 minutes Saturday to give their input about and ask questions of the school board’s plan to make a decision regarding Coultrap’s future. This was the second such forum that week.
