August 10 - the start day for Shawnee Public Schools - is fast approaching.
But April 19 and the remaining tornado damage still loom large in the rearview mirror.
Nevertheless, new Shawnee Superintendent Dr. Aaron Espolt said every site will be completely accessible inside their buildings.
Some of the exterior areas, mostly at Shawnee High School (SHS), will be blocked off for safety reasons.
