The South Coffeyville school board votes to hire Jay T. Boynton and his firm BWA Architects for their upcoming bond election for a new gym. Superintendent Daryl Pruter says one issue they've come across is any new construction must include a storm shelter.

Pruter says they are looking at a few different options when it comes to the total cost of the construction.  The bond, if passed, will raise the mill rate for South Coffeyville Public Schools from 3.19 to 14.56, which is still lower than Oklahoma Union, 18.64, and Nowata, 22.70.
