(KAIR)--Projects made possible through a bond issue approved earlier this year by voters in Atchison's USD 409, are making progress, with some underway, while others await start dates.

Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Renee Nugent, in a post to social media this week, said passersby the underway baseball field construction can see the signs of progress.

With renderings shown, in the social media video post, of the future upgrades to the Atchison Elementary School, Nugent says bids will soon be accepted:

Among the AES work will be a new entrance and preschool facility, as well as an upgrade for the nurses office.

The start of facility roof upgrades is also forthcoming, but delayed due to recent weather conditions.

Atchison voters, through mail in ballot early this year, gave approval to the $27.3 million dollar bond issue for the enhancements and upgrades, including that for student safety.
