 Well, voters in Cast Lake Beena School District are just one week away from voting on a $37.8 million bond referendum that could pave the way for a new third through fifth grade intermediate school. If voters say yes to the referendum, the new school would be located near the current Cast Lake Beena Middle School and High School. The 75,000 square foot structure would feature a larger gym that would be available for community use. The new school would also be home to the district's offices. With an increase in enrollment, the school district is looking for new ways to grow. We'd like to expand our early childhood program and we don't have room to do that. And because we can't expand our early childhood, we're missing out on some state funding. We've also had to close our doors to open enrollment on all grade levels all the way up through the eighth grade now because our buildings are filled to capacity. So if we want to keep classroom sizes down and still expand our programming, we're going to have to expand our facilities.
