Bond issue finances upgrades to McDonald County Schools' exteriors
Work now involves a whole lot of asphalt. Crews are making exterior improvements to all of its campuses, many of which have gravel parking lots and roads. Work that was being done Tuesday morning outside Pineville Elementary.
Parking lots and other areas at Anderson, White Rock, Southwest City and the Mustang Academy are getting upgrades.
Work outside the high school has already wrapped up.
'Everyone is really excited about having the parking lots done. It makes our schools look nicer. It makes our whole community look nicer. Everyone's excited about it. Not just our school staff, but our community is excited, as well,' said Dr. Eric Findley, McDonald County Schools Supt.
'We're the hub here at the high school. All of the buses come through here. They all originate here, and they all end up here in the morning and leave out of here in the afternoon. So, this road here behind the high school. It's probably the busiest dirt road in the county before now.'
The projects are being funded by the 21-and-a-half million bond issue voters approved in 2022.
