Patchin also stated that the School Board approved the awarding of the construction contract to remodel the entrance to the middle and high school to MJO Construction

“This is a sinking fund project to fix the many uneven pavers on the sidewalk which have become a tripping hazard,” said Patchin. “The project will be completed in late August.”

Patchin said the public will also have an opportunity to purchase a paver they can have their names, or the names of their families engraved on and placed near the bulldog statue for $200. All proceeds will be used to purchase new furniture for the school’s commons area that will allow students to better use the area as a group meeting workspace. More information to be released soon on how to purchase these custom engraved pavers.

“Our Library will remain open during the construction, and our Northern Lights Summer Programs and sports camps will also continue operating,” said Patchin. “See signage of where the entrances will transition to temporarily.”
