The building project that has been tentatively approved by the Board of Trustees would tie together the Middle Schools north wind and the High School building. In effect giving the two facilities some real flexibility la the future. This type of construction would help cut down the year to year overhead needed to effectively operate these buildings. The foyer area la the High School would be enlarged giving more space for the High Schools activities. Because this facility would be used Jointly by the Middle School and High School, money need for the project would come out of both the Elementary and High School Districts. Because of the decrease in the funding from the State and Federal Governments, it is necessary to ran a Bond Issue Election.
