(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education has begun working on a new bond issue proposal.  

The Board, in a January 31 special meeting, heard a presentation from Zack Snethen with HTK Architects and Tucker Peddicord with Lighthouse Construction Guidance.    

They reviewed the initially $36.7 million bond issue that was rejected by voters last November so the board could begin discussions on what revisions need to made to present a successful construction project to patrons.  

They suggested getting a facility committee together to begin preparing community meetings.  The committee will consist of board members, administrators and a few other members to be determined.  

The consensus of the board was to have Snethen and Peddicord work on a new project plan that would include adding one or two more classrooms for a total of 9-10 new classrooms and renovation or rebuild of the CTE/shop building.  

The plan will not include a new gymnasium or a theatre, but will include the option to build them in the future.  

The board agreed  to have a special board meeting toward the end of the month for Snethen and Peddicord to present the revised plan.
