Gentry School Board calls special meeting to approve building plans

Wednesday, November 28, 2012

— A special meeting of the Gentry School Board has been scheduled at 5 p.m. on Dec. 5 to review plans related to the new multi-purpose athletic facility to be built on the high school campus.

Plans include the building itself and its layout but also changes which will be required for it to be built between the high school auditorium and Pioneer Stadium. This includes utility placement, sidewalks, parking and moving the bus lanes which currently go behind the high school and middle school.

Preliminary drawings have been prepared and more complete plans are expected to be presented for approval so that work can be contracted and begin as soon as possible.

At present time, the regular school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17. The special meeting was called to enable the project’s construction manager to move forward with the project.
