USD 475 officials will make a presentation to City and County Commissioners Monday evening on the proposed new high school project.

A steering committee is in the midst of studying the options for the project, and are scheduled in January to make a recommendation to the Board of Education. The Board could at that point decided to put a proposal for a new school on the ballot in the spring. Approval would be necessary to allow the school district to receive the state aid needed to help finance the project.

District officials have indicated all or most of the project can be financed by heavily impacted federal aid and state aid.

The City – County meeting begins at 5 p.m. at the C. L. Hoover Opera House.

The meeting will also include a Dorothy Bramlage Public Library presentation and discussion by city commissioner Jim Sands about a Mentoring Program.
