BLUE RIVER, Ore. Members of the McKenzie School District s board said they will now have to find money elsewhere in their budget for key projects after a $15,215,000 bond failed in the May election.
A significant portion of that funding would have gone towards building a new elementary school. It doesn t meet earthquake standards, there s lead, there s radon, some issues that have to be addressed immediately, school board member Elaine Bryson said about the current elementary school.
UNION â Bond-funded renovation work in the Union School District in 2021 will modernize its aging buildings and wake up the echoes of one structureâs past.
A presentation on the 2021 bond work made these points Wednesday night, Dec. 9, at a meeting of the Union School Board. Renovation work is set to start in March, said Cassie Hibbert of the Wenaha Group, which is serving as the construction management provider for the school district. Hibbert said exterior work will be done while school is in session and interior projects will be undertaken in the summer.
Projects include restoring the steps of Union High Schoolâs east entrance, which features four ornate pillars that are least 100 years old. The stairway work will allow the entrance, which has been closed for years because of the poor condition of its steps, to open again.
