After voters recently turned down a referendum to make building improvements, a Rock County school district is finding creative ways to replace some outdated fixtures.

Parkview School District Superintendent Steve Lutzke says they recently took advantage of an offer from a salvage company to take items from a YMCA in Waukesha that was in the process of being demolished.

Lutzke says they were able to recover items such as hand railings, sports equipment, light fixtures, and bathroom hand dryers that the district can put to good use.

Overall, Lutzke says they probably saved the District up to $2,000 that would have been needed to buy the items brand new.
