(Stanton) — Preliminary planning is underway for future construction projects in the Stanton School District.
At a special meeting Thursday morning, the Stanton School Board approved a construction contract with KPE Architecture of Omaha for projects associated with a $5,325,000 bond issue approved by voters in last month’s city-school elections. Funding from the bond issue is earmarked for a number of projects, including a safe and secure entryway, new classrooms and heating and air conditioning work, among others.
