Decison on Columbia City High School Expected Tonight

The Whitley County Consolidated Schools board plans to decide tonight whether to remodel or replace Columbia City High School. A committee recently recommended against remodeling the existing school. The board could build a new high school on land it already owns, adjacent to Indian Springs Middle School on State Road Nine, south of Columbia City. Doing so would mean borrowing about 62-and-a-half million dollars by issuing bonds. The board meets at seven o’clock tonight.
