The Hood River County School District continues to work on capital construction projects being funded through a bond measure approved by voters one year ago. The largest of the projects, replacement of May Street Elementary School, is now in the design development stage, and District Superintendent Dan Goldman says the next step is to enter the permitting process. The district aims to start construction on the school in February 2018 with occupancy planned for the fall on 2019. Goldman said the new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math addition at Wy’east Middle School and building improvements for Hood River Middle School are to go out to bid in about two-and-a-half weeks.
