Superintendent Penny Hargrove told the Board of Education Monday evening they received more than 900 survey's back. Hargrove says 420 favored option one, which included upgrades and repairs to the district's existing three schools at an estimated cost of about $9.4 to $10.8 million. 163 favored option 2, which included all the projects listed in option 1 plus the construction of an elementary school multipurpose gym, construction of a career exploration center for the middle school and high school, and renovation of the high school restrooms. 319 were opposed to any bond proposal.
