(Corning) The Corning School Board opened the sealed bids for the district’s first issuance of approximately 14-million-15-thousand dollars at a special meeting on Monday of school bonds for the new $19.2 million footprint for the elementary building in Corning.
Schools Superintendent Chris Fenster says the bond referendum means renovating the Corning Elementary School, additional square footage, including an area for K-5 classrooms on the East Pod, a new multi-purpose, and a safe room. Additionally, the plan consists of renovating the West Pod of the central building, moving the early childhood center, and replacing the wooden playground equipment with an ADA-compliant facility. Fenster says the renovation project will project equity to the district. The bond issue also covers upgrading the baseball and softball fields. This past March, the Public Measure passed 363-149.
Fenster says the project will go out for bid at the end of November to start construction next spring.
