The 79-million-dollar bond, if passed, will allow the district to build a new Mountain Home High School building that will be located next to Mountain Home Junior High School.

This is NOT the time for a new high school. A new facility is needed, but not under this current economic environment.

We currently have at 10% inflation, super high food prices, and the highest energy prices ever, none of which will end in the current political environment.

A new facility was needed years ago: what is the rush for this now? If your assessed home value is $200K, then you'll be paying almost $40.00 a month for this for 20 years and that's on top of your already passed annual school levy fees.

NOT THE TIME FOR THIS!

I hope the gym is regulation size........

Also hope what was referred to as The OB, Old Building, is doing ok with all the updates.

You remember OB, the one that was "condemned" so we had to have a new HS.

The new HS that is now the Jr High because the gym is not regulation size.

Question is, who signed off on the plans for that?

The concept drawing could double as a design for a new jail/prison-just add fence!
