If the school board goes with the first option , inside mills are not voted on by the public . They are allowed to transfer these mills and use them for permanent improvement .
“ Some districts have bought busses with that ,” Rinkes said . “ Some districts have put new roofs on buildings , and others have used it as debt payment , and that is what we are talking about . In six years the cost of one square foot of building a school has gone up over $ 200 a square foot . That is not good , but what is good is
The River View boys earned 15 medals overall , while breaking three school records and qualifying a relay for the state tournament , and the girls had a top 20 relay .

that we have no debt .”
A new building would most likely be put near the current junior high and take approximately five years for the building process . The junior high would become fourth through sixth , and the high school would be a grades 7-12 building . However , if the board goes this route , some shortterm changes would be made to get the district in a smaller footprint .
“ We may be looking at moving a few grade levels this summer , but more likely you would see a lot of movement next summer ,” Rinkes said . “ There are going to be some upfront costs to getting into one footprint , but then there will be savings all around .”
At the end of the meeting , attendees were able to use a QR code to rank the four options the board of education will consider . They plan to make their decision as soon as possible so students and staff know what to expect for the next school year .
“ This is a tough decision ,” Rinkes said . “ Our staff and kids deserve a decision that thinks of their future , not just what is convenient right now .”
The next community meeting is scheduled for Tuesday , March 15 at 6 p . m . at River View High School . Rinkes also routinely gives the community district updates at Coffee with Chuck events with the next one scheduled for Thursday , March 3 at 6 p . m . at the Walhonding Fire Department .
