On May 21, the school board approved moving forward with Step 1 of Option A. Step 1 includes replacing Leesburg Elementary with a new four-section school for $16 million; expanding and renovating Claypool and Jefferson schools for $10 million each; and replacing Madison with a new four-section school for $16 million. The total bond issue for Step 1 was estimated by architectural firm Kovert Hawkins to be $65 million.

Lake will preview the process by which the corporation will completely renovate the existing portions of Claypool Elementary and construct new additions to the existing site. The final portion of the presentation will be discussion on renovating the 1976 portion of Jefferson Elementary and new construction of that site.
The meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday at the central administration building.
