Well, it happened!  The school bond issue needed 60% approval and managed to obtain 66% of the 780 votes cast on Tuesday.  The “Yes” vote for Sargent Central will provide funds to:

• Replace the sewer system
• Replace modulars with ten classrooms plus a Kindergarten center
• Convert existing locker rooms into Interactive Television Classroom (ITV) facilities and provide a larger counselor office, a commons area and storage
• Provide a library/computerized research center open to the public
• Improve safety so all areas can be notified at once of fire, tornado or lockdown situations (rather than having to telephone or walk to inform some classrooms!)
• Meet ADA and Fire Marshall code compliance and Health and Safety codes
• Connect the existing facility to the Activity Center
• Provide for future student population growth

Thank you to everyone who worked to help make the bond issue pass.  Your hard work paid off!
