We are officially halfway through the year and by this time next year, there will be a new bus barn in Mount Pleasant for the school district, according to Superintendent John Henriksen, with the Mount Pleasant Community School District. During a radio interview, he spoke about future plans for the site at 1515 E Monroe. He believes that the building will be ready for move in by March 2025, although he is unsure if the district will immediately utilize it or wait until the summer.
After the school district purchased many properties formerly belonging to the Iowa Wesleyan University, questions and concerns were raised from community members. There will be a meeting at the end of July to discuss the master plan. That will be at 6:00pm on July 22nd at the Mount Pleasant High School Media Center.
