I really don't know about your school, but many schools for the developmentally and physically disabled have small pools for therapy use. On the other hand, when students are in these pools they are usually very, very closely supervised. A child going under long enough to die would be extremely rare and I imagine big news. Now if a kid of a teacher or such was in the pool after hours it would seem that it would still hit the news - a therapy pool is maybe 4-5 feet deep and would not have been of huge use in a standard elementary school. It's possible they just filled it in to create more classroom space. Good Luck
