Sigourney school district to seek $9.9 million bond for high‑school upgrades
Summary
Superintendent Kevin Hatfield told the council that the Sigourney Community School District will place a $9.9 million bond referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot to fund water/sewer upgrades, a safer entrance and ADA bathroom improvements at the Jr./Sr. high school; if approved, work could take about two years.
Superintendent Kevin Hatfield told the Sigourney City Council on Sept. 16 that the Sigourney Community School District will ask voters on Nov. 4 to approve a $9.9 million bond referendum to fund upgrades and repairs at the Sigourney Jr./Sr. High School.
Hatfield said the district plans to use the bond proceeds for water and sewer system upgrades, to improve the school entrance for safety, and to renovate bathrooms to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards. "If the bond would pass in November, I would think about two years" for the upgrades, Hatfield said.
The presentation was given during the meeting’s additional city business portion; council members asked timing questions but made no formal action related to the bond during this session. The bond, if approved by voters, would move the district into a planning and construction phase with timing dependent on final project design and contractor scheduling.
The council did not take a formal position on the referendum at this meeting. Further public outreach and formal notices will follow as the election approaches.
