South Coffeyville Public Schools could be seeing some upgrades and improvements coming to the district. The school board discussed the possibility of another bond election for a new gym after the last attempt failed by just six votes. Superintendent Daryl Pruter says they are looking for a lease purchase general obligation bond.

The board voted to table this item for further discussion. They are planning a special meeting for later this month to receive additional information on what bonds they can pursue to help build the new gym. Pruter says other improvements include renovation of the cafeteria bathrooms.

The board is still waiting on an official bid from CRI Plumbing before voting to approve these improvements. In other business, the board voted to approve the contract of Pruter for the 2024-2025 school year.
