On April 23, 1996 the referendum passed with only 303 votes. A lot of people feel that it would not have passed if it weren’t for the students’ votes.
Remodeling will start this summer and continue into the next school year. During the school year sections of the schools will have to be closed to prevent any possible injury, and when they are doing the second floor of the high school the classrooms directly below will not be able to hold classes because of the noise level and again-in case of injury.
When I talked to Dr. Mook she said they were uncertain as to what they would do if the referendum did not pass. One possibility would be putting up portables around the lot which would result in less parking space for students.
One question that is frequently asked is what will happen to Mini School. Dr. Mook said that they plan to try and leave Mini just as it is. The only change will be the possibility of losing our storage room and we would have to move our stuff downstairs to the main storage area.
We will definitely be benefiting from this. The construction will be inconvenient for all of us, but in the long run we will all be a lot happier.
