Mason City school board to meet Monday night; High School expansion project could cost $25 million

MASON CITY – The Mason City school board will meet Monday night and a document released by the district shows a massive expansion to the High School could cost up to $25 million.

Dave Versteeg, Mason City schools superintendent, said on September 11 via Twitter, “The field house & pool project is moving along. Bidding is tentatively planned for early October & construction begins soon after.”  This project has long been in the works but details have been hard to come by.  The school district is not as transparent as other governmental agencies, such as City Hall.  A document released by the district ahead of Monday night’s school board meeting shows the project may cost over $25 million.
