A facilities workgroup representing school community stakeholders convened in the spring of 2021 to update the district's facilities master plan. The goals of this group were to review and discuss the status of district facilities and community input, identify additional facility needs, and provide assistance in revising the 2014 Facilities Master Plan. The workgroup presented its findings to the Board of Education in September. You can view their presentation slides here. In April 2022, voters in the Hallsville R-IV School District approved Proposition B, which authorized the issuance of $6,000,000 in general obligation bonds. With over 75% approval, this is the second largest approved bond issuance in the history of the school district. The funds allow the district to continue with its capital improvement plan. During the 2022-2024 construction of a new middle school wing, relocation of the athletic track, and other campus improvements, the district keeps the following three items at the forefront.
- Address our facility needs in a logical sequence; think long-term and consider possible enhancements and unintended consequences
- Improve the quality of educational and extracurricular experiences for our students
- Ensure continued stewardship and financial stability
