Sherman to vote on $47M plan to save the town’s only school: ‘Nothing is not an option’

Residents will vote this Saturday on a $47 million plan to renovate the only public school in Sherman. Pending voter approval, the town would pursue a state grant to be reimbursed for $11 million of the project. Should the referendum pass, construction would begin no later than April 2024 and progress in phases, without the use of portable classrooms, toward an anticipated completion in August 2025, according to a statement from the town. Portions of the building can be worked on while students are in the rest of the building, the school board chairman said. The spring of 2024 start date is “a pretty aggressive schedule,” Vogt said, although inflation and building and supply shortages might play a factor in the completion date of the project.
