The John Glenn School Board members were updated on the upcoming building project bidding process when they met last week.
Superintendent Christopher Winchell said potential contractors were given a presentation on the proposed projects during a recent bid meeting. Bids will be opened Tuesday, August 8 at 1 p.m. ET in the Administration Building on the campus of the John Glenn High School at 101 John Glenn Drive.
The John Glenn School Board members completed paperwork earlier this year on the proposed upcoming building projects at Walkerton Elementary School and at North Liberty Elementary School.
Much of the work at Walkerton Elementary School will be heating and cooling updates, new ceilings, interior and exterior doors and frame replacement, office staff bathroom reconfiguration, insulation in Unit A wing, locker room renovations, new paint, cabinetry, new carpeting, and a redesign of the canopy. At North Liberty Elementary School, heating and cooling updates will continue, as well as the replacement of classroom doors and frames and other interior doors, and a few exterior doors.
To complete all of these updates, the school is utilizing $10 million in lease rental bonds to pay for the projects.
Winchell previously explained that there is a slight tax rate increase, but it is taking the rate back to the 2022 tax rate level.
