(Harlan) Harlan Community School District School Special Bond issue election is tomorrow.
District patrons are voting on a $22.1 million bond issue; the school district would also contribute $9.1 million from its state funding.
Harlan Schools Superintendent Jenny Barnett says the project includes renovations and upgrades to all four buildings on campus. She says the project would place students in a 21st-century learning environment if approved.
The central portion of the project is building a modern Intermediate School Facility, duplicating the square footage of the current facility.
Barnett says all five third-grade sections would be adjacent to each other, but there would be opportunities for teachers to open up the doors and teach two to three classrooms simultaneously, and more windows and more classroom space.
The project includes some roofing needs at the Middle School and the modernization of the library. The primary school, the district’s latest facility, wouldn’t need much work other than constructing a handicapped-accessible playground.
Eligible voters may vote at the Auditors Office through 4:00 p.m. today or vote at the polls on Tuesday.
