In 2022, a community-based group identified a two-phase plan to improve the district’s academic and activity facilities. The first phase, which was funded using state sales tax dollars, included new softball & baseball fields and renovated high school science classrooms. The second phase will complete the outdoor activities complex and address space needs in both the secondary and elementary schools. This phase will be paid for with a property tax levy, which requires a vote on November 3.
Find out more about the proposed projects:
Elementary School Principal Danielle Wood explains the proposed changes to the site to improve drop off and pick up as well as playground safety.
To add classroom space without an addition to the building, the proposed plan will reconfigure existing learning spaces. I-35 alum Keegan Strange explains how.
The proposed plan to replace the current athletic field and supporting facilities is about more than new spaces for athletics. While our student athletes and their needs are important, so too are the needs of our supportive fans and entire community. The proposed new activities complex will replace the current one in a new location with bleachers and restrooms that are ADA compliant. The site improvements will also improve access to the fields and additional ADA parking. Find out more from Kayle & Cian Currie about how these improvements will affect their family and others. Apologies in advance for some audio issues. It was a windy day in south central Iowa!
