Below is an update of the current bond projects that are moving forward:

Plumbing rough-in and blocking for the building has begun as well. The removal of the current turf at Peoples Bank Stadium is set to begin the week of April 13. The new turf for Peoples Bank Stadium has arrived and is on site.

Other projects included are technology and security upgrades, maintenance improvements, extracurricular advances, and land purchases.
