Truth in Taxation dates are approved
This fall will feature a new-look elementary playground at Mountain Lake Public Elementary School (MLES) following the unanimous approval of the Mountain Lake Public School (MLPS) School Board at its Monday, July 20 meeting.
Board members approved to replace the tar on the north and south sides of the playground flat surface with concrete, approving the concrete bid. The board also decided to create a basketball court with one 10-foot hoop. Finally, they voted to install a large playground playset in the middle of the grassy area. Money for the project will be coming from funds raised by the MLES Student Council Fund, along with up to $5,000 from the District Fund.
According to MLES Student Council Co-Advisor Annette Kunkel, “The order will be placed tomorrow (Tuesday, July 21) and it will be here in four weeks. At that time, the call will go out for community volunteers to help install the playset so that it will be done before the first day of school on Wednesday, August 26. Yeah!”
