School board recommends $114 million bond for new North Summit High School
The North Summit School Board’s Aug. 15 public information meeting was intended to explain why the bond is on this November’s ballot.
“Tonight is not about proposing a high school campus and a swimming pool only because we want something nicer,” Superintendent Jerre Holmes said. “It’s more about needing something that is safer and more efficient. The fact is: our high school has served its time and is wearing out quickly.”
On the safety front, architect Whitney Ward said the 47-year-old high school’s roof is heavy and could collapse during an earthquake. The original boilers and electrical systems need replacing too.
The school also has several entrance points and no secure area to check in visitors.
Given the choice between renovation and new construction, the school board thinks new construction is cheaper in the long run.
