December 15, 2020 (MITCHELL) – The Mitchell Community School approved moving forward on a $16.8 million improvement plan for the school corporation. During the board meeting, the Mitchell Community School Board decided to move the proposals to a public hearing in the first part of January 2021. They must decide whether to take all of the $16.8 million in projects,which will take almost three years to complete. The debt for all the projects would be paid off in ten years. However, board members could decide to take another option which is to take on a few projects at a time. However, the costs may increase and cost taxpayers more in the long run. Should any of these projects be put on hold the cost of interest rates, construction costs and other variables could cause price increases.
