GIBSONVILLE, North Carolina (AP) -- More than 1,000 students displaced by a fire that gutted their high school will finish the academic year separately on two sites, officials decided Friday.
Guilford County School Board members said space and time constraints forced them to split up the student body of Eastern Guilford High School after Wednesday's fire.
Freshmen and sophomores will use the former North Carolina School for the Deaf, and juniors and seniors will attend class at Guilford Technical Community College. Upperclassmen will resume classes Wednesday, while younger students won't begin classes until November 14.
Officials hope a new school will be built by August 2009 on the site of the one that burned, the remnants of which crews began tearing down Thursday. Athletic uniforms and some other items were recovered.
No students or school employees were injured.
A teacher spotted the fire about 2 p.m. Wednesday and tried to put it out with an extinguisher, then pulled the alarm. Teachers, employees and the 1,060 students were evacuated to a church.
