What was that school constructed from that it was a total loss?? Aren't most schools primarily cement block construction?

The school was primarily made of stacks of rags soaked in gasoline. A groundskeeper was in charge of adding additional gasoline every 2 hours. This did, however, create a 30 minute "safe zone" in which a fire had a much smaller chance of burning the school down. The school board was to meet next month to rectify the problem.

LOL!! Yeah I would imagine even if the school was made of brick or cinderblock that the inside could be destroyed by fire and also the roof, which was probably some sort of wood framing.
