Instead of total demolition, the district now plans on turning part of the building into the new board office and demolishing the former Holbrook Elementary School, where the board had been located.
"The project consists of renovating the existing school to be the new Board of Education office for the Lebanon City Schools. A new parking lot is envisioned for the north and south of the proposed office. The east part of the school will be demolished," according to an application by the Kleingers Group to Lebanon Planning Commission.
The current building, at 160 Miller Road, was built as a high school in the mid-1960s, replacing what was the previous high school and is now Berry Middle School, further south on Broadway.

The former Holbrook elementary, where the board offices have been located, is to be demolished.
The board office plan goes before Lebanon Planning Commission at 7 p.m. tonight at Lebanon City Hall, 50 S. Broadway in Lebanon.
