Lincoln Parish School Board superintendent Ricky Durrett will hold an open forum on Monday, Jan. 29, at 6 p.m. for the public to invite feedback regarding a potential bond measure that could offer upgrades to both Ruston High School and Ruston Junior High.
“We are presenting some options that we will propose in a bond election before our meeting with the school board in the February meeting,” Durrett said. “We want to get some input back from the public on what they think of some of the projects that we’re going to propose. We want to do this before we get to a final plan so that everybody’s had an opportunity to see it and digested a little bit before we get to the school board meeting.”
The forum will be held at the Ruston High School auditorium. All members of the public are welcome to come.
Potential projects could include roof replacements, security upgrades for both schools, additional parking, athletic facility upgrades and activity bus purchases.
The next school board meeting with be Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 12 p.m. at Ruston Elementary.
