Proposed Solution

Maintaining High Standards
Residents of our community hold us to a high standard. They want what is best for students, and that includes adequate facilities. While we were right-sized for our student enrollment just a few years ago, space is getting tight, and will be tighter in coming years.

Hawley Public Schools is asking voters to consider a two-question bond referendum on the November 8 ballot to address growing enrollment and some facility needs.

Question #1

Is for a new middle school building that would house grades 5-8 on property to the north of the existing elementary school. The existing high school will be converted to serve grades 9-12, the existing elementary will be converted to serve grades PreK-4. Some remodeling would occur in the high school and elementary school to address facility needs.

How would the money be spent? (Question #1)

Question #2

Is for improvements to the existing gyms and Dale Skallerud Athletic Complex. These improvements will serve students in physical education classes and athletics. If approved, will ask for additional funds to make upgrades for physical education and athletic improvements. The High School gym is planned to be upgraded including: flooring, lighting, volleyball and basketball standards, bleachers, training room, and storage. The existing stadium is planned to be upgraded with a turf field, additional indoor storage, field event upgrades, and ticket area improvements.

Question 1 must pass before Question 2 can pass.
