While students may be enjoying their summer, in which they still have nearly two months to do so, the Mount Pleasant school district is working to move forward with projects in June and July. One such project is the proposed bus barn/central receiving/buildings and grounds at 1515 E Monroe St, which will be brand new construction. The superintendent, John Henriksen, spoke on KILJ Radio to announce the winner of the bid for construction. Jean C. Wiley and Sons had the lowest bid, which sat right around 3 million dollars.
There will be a special session on Wednesday evening at 5:30pm in the central office to move forward on this.
