Abo Elementary School was shut down in 1995 as a result of increased maintenance costs, aging mechanical equipment and difficulties associated with removing asbestos insulation from the underground, windowless structure. Instead, a new school, Yeso Elementary School, was built next door and Abo was converted into a storage shed.
