ATSR conducted a districtwide master plan study with involvement from a 50-member community task force. Design options considered enrollment projections, building capacity, and long-term facilities maintenance. The school board accepted the task force recommendation, which resulted in the passage of a $22.1 million bond referendum to pay for building improvements at four schools. The improvements include additional classrooms, renovations, secure entries, mechanical system upgrades, reroofing work, an ag/tech shop plus science lab and a new 700-seat auditorium.

One student said: “With flexible seating, picking where you want to sit is really helpful to be able to learn how I want to learn – certain classes are harder for me. I am able to sit by myself at a high table, whether I’m with a group or alone. Then I can focus more and understand; so it is really helpful to have different options and not be confined to one setting.”
