USDA Approves USD 377 Bond Project

(KAIR)--The United States Department of Agriculture has approved USD 377's application for a Rural Development loan, which would fund several district improvements.

According to a press release from Superintendent Steve Wiseman, securing the $9.8 million loan was important to the board because it meant being able to demonstrate a need and that the scope of the bond meets the standards set forth by the USDA.

Wiseman says that loan funds have been reserved for the district, and the board is hopeful that the endorsement from the USDA will help endorse the project.

The loan is contingent upon USD 377 voters approving the bond issue in the November 4th election.

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 junior high students. The fitness center and weight room would also be moved into the high school.

Other improvements include 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.
