Cerro Gordo Schools Planning For Facilities' Future

Thanks to additional tax revenues, the Cerro Gordo school district will soon be in planning mode for the future of their faculties.
 
The one-cent education sales tax that passed in Macon and Piatt Counties has brought in additional revenues for facilities. Cerro Gordo Schools Superintendent Brett Robinson indicates their Board of Education will be looking at how to utilize those revenues going forward.
 
 
The district receives over $160-thousand in yearly revenue from the taxes in each county. According to Robinson, the revenues generated can only be used on facilities.
 
 
Robinson believes the district's facilities, while somewhat aging, are in good shape and would only need some smaller improvements to make them 21st century learning ready.
 
 
Districts with older facilities face the challenge of updating their aging facilities with increased regulations for the disabled and an increased demand for technology in classrooms.
