Hardee County schools request $12 million to refurbish historic high school and gym
Summary
Hardee County School Superintendent Sonia Bennett asked the delegation for $12 million to renovate the original Hardee Senior High School into a centralized district office and community facility, including $1.5 million to restore the Joel Evers gymnasium and ADA upgrades.
Sonia Bennett, superintendent of the Hardee County School District, requested $12,000,000 to refurbish the county's original high-school building into a centralized district administrative location and community asset. The proposal includes structural upgrades, modern electrical/mechanical/plumbing systems, ADA improvements such as an elevator and a proposed on-site medical clinic for district staff.
Bennett said the project would also renovate the historic Joel Evers gymnasium at a projected cost of $1,500,000 to restore indoor recreation space used for school and community events, and argued the consolidation would create operational efficiencies by replacing four scattered district offices. “We're seeking $12,000,000 to refurbish the original Hardee Senior High School,” Bennett told the delegation.
