(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education plans to proceed with placing a bond issue on the November general election ballot to fund an estimated $24.2 million in improvements at the district's two schools.

That was the consensus of the Board at their July 18 meeting after new Superintendent Tavis Desormiers and Board President Jason Hammes discussed public meetings held on the bond proposal, which saw a mostly favorable response.

The Board will consider approval of a resolution at their August meeting stating their intent to place the bond issue on the ballot.

It was also the consensus of the board to begin the process of hiring a construction manager.

Work began on a new bond proposal after USD 115 patrons last November soundly defeated a $37.6 million bond issue for improvements at the district's schools.

The new proposal calls for classroom additions at the district's two schools. It also calls renovations at the high school and renovation of the career/tech building at the high school.
