New school project is $68.8 million, with $65.5 million spent

What happened

At the June 22, 2026 meeting the superintendent reported the new school project has a $68.8 million budget: $40.8 million from the 2023 bond, $26.7 million from a state BEST construction grant, $1 million from a state local-affairs grant and $296,546 from a mineral lease grant. About $65.5 million had been spent. Left to finish were work on the old building roof, cafeteria floor repairs (about $200,000, with the contractor sharing about $50,000), the football practice field and roads.

Why it matters to families

This is the largest public spending project in the district, and the last pieces affect fields, roofs and floors students will use.
