The district received communication from the Ohio School Facilities Commission on May 3, 2007, that the district had been approved for the state funds. After new Ohio legislation allowing the district to proceed, a bond issue was placed on the March 2008 ballot to build a new pre-K–12 facility. The ballot issue passed and the district is in the process of building a new facility. The actual groundbreaking is expected in the Spring of 2009.
