Lebanon Community School Corporation presented a conceptual 2026 campus master plan Feb. 10 that would replace and expand athletic facilities, add parking and a new natatorium, and include a financing framework of up to $87,695,000 in bonds; the presentation was informational and no action was taken.
Administrators presented a conceptual athletic facilities master plan proposing expanded locker rooms, an eight‑lane track, upgraded natatorium and new weight room; the plan is phased and will require community engagement and multi-year financing.
