ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Eyewitness News found out contaminated land is 
forcing the Orange County School District to re-design plans for Evans 
High School, leaving some future grads wondering if it will ever get off 
the ground.

The contamination is forcing district officials to shop elsewhere for 
land that doesn't need clean-up and Eyewitness News found out they're

Hills roads.

School officials are testing the soil to make sure contaminates that are

high school.
