PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. — The Pretty Prairie USD 311 School Board will go over a survey that was sent out to all district patrons regarding a proposed bond issue for the district. The district is working on a bond issue that could range from simple maintenance needs to a major renovation of the district's buildings.
The survey provided two bond packages. The first includes the basic needs plus repairs to the current high school gymnasium. The work would cost approximately $4.8 million over 20 years. The second package would include expanding the middle school gymnasium and turning it into the main competition facility. It would include a new lobby, concession stand, restrooms, locker rooms, and a weight room. The district says that the proposal would be more cost-effective than renovating the current HS gym into a competition gym or building a new gym.
The district will go over the results of that survey and then decide what direction it wants to take in bringing that bond issue to voters. The goal is to have the matter up for a vote in August. Tonight's meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the middle school auditorium.
