District facility committee discusses $9.84 million School Modernization Fund allocation and high-school options
Summary
The facilities committee briefed trustees on a $9.84 million state distribution from the School Modernization Fund and weighed major remodel vs. building new on the high school site; trustees emphasized financial constraints and community input.
The board’s facilities committee reported on March 19 that the district is slated to receive $9.84 million from the state School Modernization Fund. Committee members and trustees discussed options for the aging high-school facility, including a major remodel of the old section or building new on the existing site.
Mr. Craig Kunz summarized the committee’s findings and noted that community preferences, long-term costs, and how the district would prioritize projects must be weighed. Trustees requested additional cost estimates and community outreach before committing to a specific path. The meeting record lists "School Modernization Fund State Distribution to Preston - $9.84 Million" in the facilities update.
No formal commitment to a construction approach was taken at the March 19 meeting; the board asked the Facilities Committee to return with feasibility, cost estimates and a recommended next step.
