The Clarkston School Board will begin formal discussions about a campaign to construct a new high school at its next meeting later this month.
The campaign aims to bring a bond campaign before voters in April.
Former Lewiston School District Superintendent Bob Donaldson, who was instrumental in convincing Lewiston voters to build a new high school, has become a consultant for the Clarkston district. He believes creating a resolution that outlines the what, why and where of the bond will help the board to present a clear focus to Clarkston voters. Additionally, it would state the plan for the new high school, why the project is being presented and where it would be built.
Donaldson and Clarkston Superintendent Thaynan Knowlton confirmed that beginning in January would give the board enough time to create a campaign for April.
Knowlton said plans have been made to create a website with a frequently asked questions page, drawings of the site and other data, as well as informational meetings.
The board plans to take action after Thanksgiving at its November 28th meeting. (Lewiston Tribune)
