Building improvements are on the horizon for the Big Rapids Public School District.

The Big Rapids school board approved several sinking fund improvement projects during a special meeting last night.

Superintendent Tim Haist is excited for all things happening this summer.

"We will be replacing the roof on the high school auditorium as well as installing hand rails and replacing some step flooring in the high school," Haist said. "We will also be replacing the gym/cafeteria floor in the elementary school as well as putting up new curtains along with painting in that space and finally putting in new lockers at the middle school." 

The projects are expected to be completed before students return from summer break.

Meanwhile, the School board also extended their congratulations to High School junior Arya Rao who score a perfect 36 on her ACT exam.                                                          (courtesy photo) The Rao Family
