District 518 s administration building in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON As the District 518 school board finalizes plans for the district s new community education facility, members are contemplating a $2.5 million increase in the total project budget and must decide how to raise the additional funds.
The board s operations committee comprising members Joel Lorenz, Mike Harberts and Steve Schnieder discussed options Tuesday morning.
The intermediate school project, currently under construction, is now projected to come in at least $2.5 million under budget, so those extra funds could be moved into the assigned account for the community education building. Both Schnieder and Lorenz favored this course of action, as the other option is to pull $2.5 million from the general fund.
