Bond Issue Considered for Community Center at High School
Norwalk Superintendent James Rubright proposed renovating the present high school into a combined high school and community center. He suggested razing the Cole building for new labs and classrooms, with possible land acquisition via eminent domain for a field house. The plan aims to expand arts, use the auditorium for performances, and keep seven district buildings open with some vacancies to trim heating costs. A $6 to $7 million bond and a separate repair bond were discussed, a citizen advisory committee will study feasibility, and a public meeting is set for May 22 in the high school auditorium.
