The River Bend School District is revising its construction strategy after gathering input from local residents seeking cost-effective solutions. Officials will now focus on building a new physical education facility at the Middle School and a wrestling and multipurpose space at the High School. In another move aimed at curbing expenses, the district has chosen to recoat — rather than replace — school roofs, a decision projected to save around $2 million. Leaders say these changes reflect the district’s commitment to fiscal responsibility while still addressing important student and facility needs. Construction schedules will be updated in the coming weeks.
