NEWTON, Kan. — The bond discussion for Lindley Hall and Santa Fe school in Newton continued Monday night at the USD 373 Board of Education meeting.
The board heard from Representatives from DLR, Gravity Works, and McCownGordon during their meeting Monday night to get their best estimates for work on Lindley Hall and the Santa Fe building.
The numbers given to the board were between $5,455,000 and $6,030,000 for Lindley Hall and between $1,855,000 and $2,055,000 for Santa Fe, depending on what rate they are able to get when the bond is marketed, so the total if all projects are bonded would be somewhere between $7,310,000 and $8,085,000.
This would likely push the next major bond for the district out another year from 2025 to 2026. The board agreed to go forward with putting a resolution on their agenda for August 8 to end up with a November bond election.
