Luella High School will receive a new multipurpose facility a well as a strings room that will be a second band room. The multipurpose room will be similar to a second gym, with a basketball and volleyball court, locker rooms, coaches offices, restrooms and a stage for performances and concerts. The other schools will receive upgrades like new lighting, projectors, floor tiling and paint. Officials said the projects will begin in the next couple of months and be completed in the summer of 2019.
