Clinton BOE Rejects Bid On Old Jr. High Property; Work To Begin Soon At Elementary Property

Clinton residents may soon notice some work beginning at the site of the new elementary school.

The plan is for things to begin this fall once the harvest has taken place. Superintendent of Clinton Schools, Dr. Jeff Holmes explains there are poor soil conditions at the site, so some digging will have to be done and filling with good soil for compaction.

A few weeks ago, the Board of Education opened bids for the old Junior High School property. Dr. Holmes says bids came in under what they felt the value of the property was, so they will sell the property either through a realtor or on their own. Dr. Holmes says the BOE would like to have $200-thousand for the property.
