Three school building options to consider for Southeast Local
Here are the three options to be discussed:
Pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade building at a cost of $29,543,750.
Pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade building at a cost of $38,243,750.
Pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade building at a cost of $50,831,490.
Each option would come with a plan for existing buildings.
In a pre-K-12 building grade levels would be configured in two or three separate areas.
The design would be grade appropriate with safety as a top priority, said Holly Mastrine, the district s curriculum coordinator.
Gymnasium and auditorium space could continue to be used at John R. Lea and Waynedale High School.

GRANADA The Granada-Huntley- East Chain School Board met on Thursday night to approve a three-year contract for an assistant principal to principal move, as well as approve the 2021-2022 adopted budget, and discuss the Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief funds.
Taylor Topinka currently serves as the assistant principal at GHEC. Next school year he will take on the role of Middle School/High School principal that will start for the 2021-2022 school year and end on the 2023-2024 school year.
“Getting a three-year extension sure feels like it’s a good fit and I’ve really appreciated my time at Granada-Huntley-East Chain,” Topinka said. “It’s just a phenomenal small school and small district to work for. I really appreciate the confidence and sure am glad to be here another three years.”
