At a special meeting tomorrow night, the Indiana Area School Board will consider authorizing a $10 million bond for the renovation project at Eisenhower Elementary School. In other action, the board will consider hiring a clerk of the works for the project, plus the awards of contracts totaling more than $21.3 million for a general contractor, plus contractors for the plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work for the Eisenhower work.
The Eisenhower school has been closed since a fire in April of 2021 destroyed two modular classrooms and caused major smoke and water damage to the main building. The school district has considered a number of options for the building amid discussions of costs and scope of the renovations, plus an addition that would negate the use of supplemental facilities.
Eisenhower Elementary students have been attending school at the Indiana Junior High School since the fire.
