AREA SCHOOL COULD FACE BIG REFERENDUM
Monday, April 19th, 2010 -- 10:15 AM
A large building referendum could be in the cards for residents of the Alma Center-Humbird-Merrillan School District.According the [i]Jackson County Chronicle[/i], the board may seek approval for a $10.4-million high school remodeling project through a November referendum.
The school district is in the middle of a 4-year, $1.2-million cap exemption referendum, which was approved in 2008.
There are a number of maintenance issues at the school. A roofing project has been delayed, a boiler has failed and the school doesn?t have a sprinkler system.
Options range from small-scale improvements, which could be viewed as a band-aid approach, or the complete demolition of the building and construction of a new facility.
