DEER TRAIL — Residents of the Deer Trail School District are invited to attend a planning meeting for the proposed new school facility at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 31, in the Deer Trail School cafeteria.
In addition to help determine the possible location of the new school and what to include in it, an update on the Building Excellent Schools Today grant application process will be presented. The BEST program is expected to cover all but $6.8 million of the new school’s cost. The $6.8 million in matching funds from the district have already been approved by district voters through last November’s mill levy increase.
The deadline for the BEST grant application is Feb. 24 and district residents are being asked for input about what the new school should like and what it should include. A final decision for this BEST cycle is expected in late May.
