SHERBURNE – On Tuesday, Dec. 18, voters in the Sherburne-Earlville School District will be asked to approve a $25.2 million project that administrators say will address the current and future needs of the district.

Assistant Superintendent Thomas Strain explained that while the district has a beautiful and well-equipped facility, the middle/high school building was constructed in 1970, and even the newer elementary school building is now 11 years old.

“Technology is rapidly changing, and the number of hours the school is occupied increases every year. Energy costs continue to increase, and school security is always a concern and a priority. We have an obligation to protect our investment in the facilities, and we presently have an opportunity to update and upgrade our facilities at virtually no cost to local taxpayers,” Strain said.
