PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. — Pretty Prairie USD 311’s first informational meeting in connection with a proposed bond issue was not as well attended as the district had hoped. The first of the two meetings involved tours of the facilities and information on the needs for the district. Another meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 25th at 6 p.m.
The district has been pushing out information on needed improvements and has already hired DCS to act as the Construction Management At Risk contractor and Landmark Architects to design what the district comes up with once those decisions are made.
Some of the immediate needs for the district's facilities include waterproofing brickwork and new windows for the aging buildings. There is also discussion of a remodeled or new gymnasium. Currently, the gym can not host postseason events due to the confined space behind the basketball goals.
The district wants the public's input before they decide on a dollar amount for a bond issue. The district is hoping to put a bond issue before their patrons during the August primary election.
