Bond 2023 Update
Discussion:
Superintendent Armstrong: Westside-Turf is wrapping up on the baseball side of the complex next up softball. The metal building is still being assembled. HS-Nabholz has set up fencing and will be on-site for the next two-plus years. Work zone alerts have been going out to re-route traffic. Today was the fifth day and it seemed to go better. The Jr. High loop will close over the Winter Break which will bring a new Work Zone for traffic flow. Drop offs and entrance for Jr. High will be moved to the back of the school. There will be lots of movement and change, but in the end, it will all be worth it.
