LOCAL WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 2019 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 Stanfi eld voters pass school district bond By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR Stanfi eld schools are getting an upgrade. Voters appeared to have approved an $18 million school bond on May 21, with 65% voting in favor of the bond as of 8 p.m. Pas- sage of the bond will also secure a $4 million matching grant from Oregon School Capital Improvement Fund. “It’s really exciting,” Stanfi eld School District Superintendent Beth Burton said. “I think this will be good for our whole com- munity, but it will be really good for our students.” The bond will pay for a number of proj- ects, most notably a new middle school wing to be built on to Stanfi eld Secondary School. Currently, middle school grades are hosted in a modular not attached to the main building. “The new middle school is defi nitely the focus, and the largest cost, of the bond,” Burton said. Having the new middle school wing will improve safety, she said, as it will force vis- itors to come past the main offi ce before accessing classrooms. The bond will also help pay for other safety upgrades, including a remodel of the entryway and front offi ce of both the secondary and elementary schools to improve safety. External safety cameras monitoring the parking lot and grounds will be added, and internal surveillance systems will be upgraded. Windows will be added to the secondary school, which has no natural lighting in its classrooms. The parking lot for the elemen- tary school will be reconfi gured, kitchens will be renovated, asbestos will be removed, the career and technical education spaces will be expanded, and the school district plans to purchase the land the elementary school is built on, which it is currently leas- ing from Union Pacifi c. 2nd Wednesday of Month at 9:00am Hermiston Chamber office NOW HIRING: Camp Host • Administrator • Maintenance Technicians • Operator Technicians • Laboratory Technicians • Cooks • Bartenders/Servers • CDL ‘A’ Drivers • Diesel Mechanics • PETROLEUM 345 N. 1st Place, Hermiston, OR 97838 541-28 9-5015 • www.mcpcoop.com Complete Collection Service Registration Now Now Open!
