Fostoria school officials say not to mind piles of dirt around the school construction sites. Superintendent Andrew Sprang says there’s a lot going on right now. He says the dirt came from the creation of three detention ponds east of the junior-senior high school.

Sprang says they are using the dirt as fill dirt. He adds it’s less expensive to haul it off-site and then to bring it back. Some of the mounds will become part of the landscaping when construction wraps up.

Sprang says construction is going well. The new junior-senior high school is dried in. That means crews can work on drywall, painting, and ductwork.
