Superintendent Mark Bielang said new buildings would help students learn collaboratively. “What our students need now are spaces that allow for collaboration, that allow for teamwork, that allow for interdisciplinary work, for project-based learning. Our spaces now are very traditional, and don’t allow for that,” he told WMUK. Bielang added that new buildings would also be easier to secure, and would have air conditioning and better airflow. “If we learned anything during this past year, we learned how important it is to bring fresh air into a space,” he said. The proposal would not raise taxes, but would extend a current 6.85-mill levy for a decade.
