Jmst public schoolsJamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School Board reviewed the potential of a proposed 19th Avenue Northeast project as an additional traffic outlet at Jamestown High School.

Superintendent Rob Lech supported the plan and fielded questions from board members about how the road fits with long-term city and school development plans. Board members wanted to see more complete information on all affected plans.

Private developer Phil Culler is proposing an apartment complex to the east of the Jamestown High School and is requesting that the district share the costs of building a new road that would be 19th Avenue Northeast. It would sit between school district land and the property he is developing for the apartment complex.

Also the board:

Approved a motion to update the Food Service deficit amount. It allows a student with a deficit below $11 to take care of it at the register, but if it’s larger and with no repayment plan in place it would be forwarded to collections.

It agreed to pay off two bonds totaling $7.7 million for Jamestown High School and middle school bonds. The 20-year debt on two loans is being paid off in 13 years with refinancing and leaves $50,000 in the debt service account.
