School Board holds construction projects hearing tonight

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The Sioux Falls School Board holds a public hearing tonight on this year’s construction projects.

Board President Kent Alberty says the biggest project is a new field house at Howard Wood.  Alberty says the Board has approved the project at just under $4 million and work should begin this spring.

Also on tonight's agenda...the School Board will release details of the Spanish Immersion plan at Jefferson.  Alberty says the project’s future may be in doubt depending on the South Dakota Legislature.

He says the Legislature is considering a bill that would limit how a school district spends capital improvement dollars.  That may hinder the Jefferson project.          

School Board meets today at 5:30 at the Instructional Planning Center.
