Dayville School receives $45,000 in facilities planning grants
replace, facilities.
“I hope this will generate
some interest in (the commu-
nity’s) participation,” she said,
adding that feedback is “abso-
lutely critical” for long-term
planning.
Hedrick said this facilities
planning process would help
inform the board whether to
pursue a facilities bond to qual-
ify for matching funding from
the state for school improve-
ments.
The soonest the district
might pursue a bond would be
May or November of 2019,
she said, noting the process
was “completely exploratory”
at this point with no decisions
made.
“That’s a process our board
chair would pursue,” she said.
In a separate project unre-
lated to the facilities planning,
Hedrick said the district will be
replacing concrete and chang-
ing the school entrance this
summer.

THANK YOU
GRANT COUNTY!
A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
