Board of Education FRONT ROW: Lyle Uhlenhopp, Henry Jungling, Ben Hook. BACK ROW: Clifford McKee, Ivan Harken, Calvin Stahl, Jake Mehmen, The Board of Education of the Aplington Community School District with the advice of the Advisory Council, decided to have a special school building election during August of 1967. This followed months of preliminary study which included a complete school building study by a team of con- sultants from the State Department of Public Instruction during March of 1966. This team made recommenda- tions. The taxpayers of the school district were then surveyed in November of 1966 to see how they felt about it. A very strong majority favored building sufficiently to meet the recommendations. The Board of Education then hired the Architectural Firm of Toenjes-Stenson 84 Warm to consult and plan with school board and professional staff and to develop a set of preliminary proposals and drawings. August 14, 1967 after all people of the district had been informed about the proposals and facts, 87? of the patrons who voted approved selling Sl75,000 in building bonds to build the new addition and to convert the old coal furnaces to natural gas with standby combination oil burners. Bids were taken November 21, 1967 from contractors with Harold Tank of New Hampton awarded the Gen- eral Construction Contract, Schmidt Plumbing 8a Heating of Charles City was awarded the Plumbing Sz. Heating Contract and Pfiffner Electric of Waterloo the Electrical Contract. Construction was started almost at once and continued through the winter and spring of this 1967-1968 school year. The new Vocational wing will be completed before school opens August 26, 1968. It includes a Farm Shop with adjoining Agriculture classroomg an Industrial Arts Shop, finishing room and an adjoining Mechanical Drawing 8r Art classroom, Bandroom with built in concrete risers and practice roomsg Homemaking Department with a Sewing room adjoining the cooking laboratoryg a central furnace room with a hot water system, a boys' Restroomg a girls' Restroom, an enlarged Custodial Storage room and a separate Lunch Storage room. Of course this will allow improvement in several other departments by allowing some space for teacher flexi- bility and curriculum development. In 1970 the old Agriculture space should be used for an elementary library and materials center. The old homemaking room will become the Biology and Junior High School Science depart- ment at once. We are all proud of this improved school plant. The Board of Education is well satisfied with the develop- ments. May we always put it to the best use for which it is intended.
