(KAIR)--The USD 377 Board of Education has received approval from the State Board of Education to hold a special bond election designed to fund various district improvements.
According to a release from the district, the school board was notified of the decision last Wednesday. The $9.8 million bond issue will now be decided in the November 4th general election.
Superintendent Steve Wiseman says, if approved, the bond would fund the construction of a multi-purpose addition to the Junior/Senior High School which would include locker rooms for the junior high students, who currently share locker rooms with the high school students. The fitness center and weight room would also be moved into the high school.
The funds would also allow the renovation of the existing metal gym at the elementary school into four classrooms, the addition of a FEMA shelter for emergency situations, and upgrades for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing at both schools.
