Voters agree to replace high school destroyed by fire
Apr 1, 2008 1:24 PM
Voters in Jones, Okla., have approved a $12.4 million bond measure to replace a high school that was destroyed in a fire. A fire
destroyed Jones High School in December and damaged an old gymnasium
that stood nearby. Since then, students have been attending classes in
seven portable buildings on the campus' east side and in a gym not
damaged by the blaze.
Plans call for
the construction of a 63,250-square-foot building with 26 classrooms
and a cafeteria. The school will accommodate 400 students. School
officials also plan to build a 23,850-square-foot gymnasium that
will seat 1,000 people.
