District needs a garage

CLINTONVILLE – The Clintonville School District is currently in the process of preparing to build a maintenance and storage garage for the district’s vehicles.
Clintonville Superintendent Troy Kuhn informed the Clintonville Board of Education at its May 12 meeting about the progress of the construction project. The maintenance garage will be used to maintain the district’s vehicles, while the storage garage will be used to store the district’s vehicles. The district’s utility vehicles will remain parked in the brown shed closest to the track at the elementary school.
Some trees needed to be removed to make room for the new maintenance and storage garages.

Kuhn also told the board that once the repairs to the district’s bus garage are made and the maintenance and storage garages are built, there will be roughly $30,000 left from the construction referendum funds.

There is a list of items that the remaining $30,000 could be spent on, Kuhn said.
Kuhn mentioned an educational pavilion at the elementary school, adding that he didn’t have a final cost for that project.
A digital sign for the elementary school was also mentioned, as was a “learning nook” at the high school in the IMC.
A permanent wrestling room was also mentioned. Kuhn said he has final cost numbers for that project, and the district’s auditors told him the funds must come from Fund 10 or referendum funds.
Kuhn said the padding on the walls of the wrestling room would cost between $8,500-$9,000. The current three rolled wrestling mats would be used to create a floor for the room. A new competition mat would then be purchased.
“By the time you put brand new flooring in there, it costs the same as buying a brand-new competition mat, so you might as well use the old mats for the flooring,” Kuhn said.
The total cost for the wrestling room project will cost around $20,000, Kuhn said.
Kuhn acknowledged that there isn’t enough money left in the referendum funds to do all the mentioned projects.
Board member Ben Huber told the board that the remaining construction referendum funds need to be spent by Dec. 31, 2025.
