Community meeting to focus on Aurora school project

The Aurora School Board has announced plans to host a community presentation Monday offering details of a proposed facility project.
Supt. Jody Phillips reported last month that four years worth of study on the district’s facility needs have led to two layout options being considered, both anchored with a new high school facility. Phillips noted in September that a number of public events would be planned to offer detailed information while giving the community a chance to ask questions about the proposed plans. Monday’s community presentation, which is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. in the Middle School Theater, is the first of those opportunities.
As reported Sept. 16 in detailed ANR coverage, the two layout options both include a new high school facility, as well as improvements at both the middle school and elementary school facilities. The main difference in the proposals is the location and design of the new high school. 
The projected cost for the alternative proposals was estimated at $80.8 and $84.2 million.
