School Improvement Plan Funds Lockers and Ventilation
The plan proposes installing one hundred $5 lockers in the High School for clothing and books at $600, plus about $100 for new windows. A $10,000 bond issue would fund needed upgrades but may be kept under $9,000 if savings occur. Bonds run twenty years with no principal due first ten years and interest about $500 yearly. If tuition pupils are reduced, revenue losses and savings are analyzed, with overall strategy described as a business proposition to improve facilities and airflow.
