New construction, facilities upgrades at Hugo Schools
Body
2022 will be an exciting year at Hugo Schools as we move forward with several construction projects and facilities upgrades. The funding of these projects will come from a variety of sources including the bond graciously passed by voters, our building fund, federal pandemic relief funds, and various other grants. The conservative management of taxpayer money to serve the needs of our students is the goal of our overall facilities improvement plan. Over the past several years, we have managed to make improvements throughout the district and to upgrade our buses and other district vehicles. These new projects are the latest in our plan to upgrade our educational facilities continuously at Hugo Schools.
