Next school public forum on bond issue will be Monday, Aug. 22

The next forum intended to gather input about the Wayland Union school district’s plans to seek a bond to pay for facility improvements, perhaps including a new high school pool, will be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, at the Wayland High School Fine Arts Center.

A Citizens Advisory Committee has met monthly this summer with district administration, representatives from Tower Pinkster Architectural firm and Triangle Construction to discuss possible solutions to needs that were identified in the facility needs assessment completed last school year.  The committee is exploring various solutions and options that include preliminary costs.  Needs that were identified are overcrowding at the elementary buildings, what to do with fifth grade, the swimming pool, and athletic facility needs.

The public is encouraged to attend and present opinions to school board members and school officials.
