The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board took legal steps to move forward with building projects at the Wednesday evening meeting.

The board adopted a resolution giving approval to preliminary plans for the new elementary school building on Cyntheanne Road.  This will pave the way for a public hearing at the next regular board session on the plans to finance the new, as-yet-unnamed school.

The board approved bids for the Central Office and Cumberland Road Elementary school construction projects.  Facilities Manager Harry Delks told board members the Cumberland Road Elementary work has been “a really challenging project,” but things “will be ready as they should be by the time school opens up.”
