Superintendent to explain new building plans

Passing a school referendum is hard even when the economy is good.  In Ottawa, a group calling themselves Our Kids Come First Committee is backing an $18.5 half million referendum to build a new grade school.

The school would replace Central School that was damaged by flooding.

Ottawa Elementary School Superintendent Craig Doster has called a press conference to talk about the new school.  It’s scheduled for before school Thursday morning at Ottawa City Hall.

The referendum will be on the February 2^nd ballot.
