JOHN DAY — Grant School District Superintendent Mark Witty is on a mission to leave Grant School District in a better place than he found it.
The district has embarked on an extensive project campaign that will see everything from the heating, ventilation and cooling system (HVAC) at Grant Union Jr./Sr. High School to building access and security within the district upgraded to modern standards. There are currently 13 projects totaling just under $7.5 million in various stages of completion currently underway throughout the district.
Funding for the projects comes from a variety of sources. One source is a Business Oregon Seismic Grant that is being used for the second phase of seismic upgrades at Humbolt Elementary.
