Lincoln Elementary School

Note, currently, there is no “Plan B” if the referendum is not supported by voters. The Board engaged professionals, key staff, administrators, facilities personnel and coaches to develop a two-part referendum proposal. The plan is fiscally prudent and includes infrastructure upgrades and improvements for systems that have surpassed their useful life and exceed the annual maintenance budget. The proposed new athletic center adequately accommodates all outdoor sports and teams, male and female, and includes code compliant public restrooms, storage and a large multi-purpose space for community use. All proposed solutions were developed to address the district’s long term needs.

Congratulations to Mason and Evie for receiving Spot Awards today!
