It's been nearly a year and a half coming and Maroa-Forsyth Schools administration is ready to move into its new facility.

Dr. Kris Kahler, Superintendent of Maroa-Forsyth Schools indicates they are working on the finishing touches. Flooring is going down, new bleachers for its multipurpose space, and furniture for classrooms are all the latest processes taking place.

There are several aspects of the new facility Dr. Kahler is excited about. With art students already using the art room, it offers floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of light. It offers plenty of tools in the classroom for expanded opportunities. 

Among the other opportunities offered in the new space, Dr. Kahler points out it is going to have a new auditorium for its band and thespian performances. He also is very excited about the upgraded learning spaces to better fit the 21st-century learning environment.

Top of mind for Dr. Kahler in the new facility is going to be the presence of stable internet. As the learning environment shifts into the technological age, having reliable internet access is a must.

Dr. Kahler indicates Feb. 16 students will begin transitioning to the new space and learning the procedures for it. There will be a special community open house on Thursday, Feb. 16. Friday, Feb. 17 students will be out of class to allow for teachers to transition themselves and their materials over to the new space and then the following Monday is President's Day and students will move in full time that Tuesday, Feb. 21.
