"Chalk Hill was last used as a school in June 2011, and has since been used to house a few town departments and programs. It was built in 1969 and is 92,000 square feet and has more than 50 rooms and offices, a cafeteria/kitchen, and a gymnasium," reports Brad Durrell at the Monroe Courier, and officials voted Monday night to let Sandy Hook Elementary use the building. As for Sandy hook, police on Monday said it will be a crime scene indefinitely.
