Special Election to be held September 11, 2012
The Johnston Schools Board of Education set a date of September 11 to hold a special election to
issue general obligation bonds not to exceed $51 million. A petition with 1021 signatures was
presented at the June 25 Board meeting. 525 signatures were required.
The facility plan has a total cost of $122.3 million, which would be funded through the $51 million
in general obligation bonds for the high school with additional funding from sales tax and PPEL
funds.
• New high school built on land currently owned by the district (north of 62nd Ave. and
west of 100th St.)
• Renovation to existing high school to house 8th and 9th grade students
• Renovation of the existing middle school on 62nd Ave. to house elementary students by
moving Wallace Elementary to that building, along with district preschool.
• Outdoor athletic and fiber optics improvements
• Renovation of the existing Wallace Elementary to meet district needs
Watch the website (www.johnston.k12.ia.us) for more information concerning the bond
referendum, facility plans and public information meeting dates and times. If you have questions,

New High School Planning Option | Johnston Community School District
9-12 Grade Configuration
Rationales for the recommendation are as follows:
1. Continues the present grade configuration of 6-7, 8-9 and 10-12
eliminating any need to create secondary boundaries. This
guarantees all students will benefit from the new construction – all
will attend the new HS and all will attend Summit MS insuring all
have access to the pool.
2. Provides the least disruptive remodeling timetable where students
will not be housed in any facility while remodeling is taking place.
3. Matches the recommendation of the committees both in creation of
a new HS and preserving the option for a second HS in the future if
needed.
4. Minimizes costs associated with renovation to MS and Wallace
5. Improves traffic issues on NW 62nd Avenue
2012 Bond Referendum Public
Mtgs
30
Tentative timeline for the implementation of the plan would be as follows:
Step 1: Purchase of Land for proposed new HS
Step 2: Bond Issue in fall of 2012
Step 3: Plan for new HS in 2012-13
Step 4: Build new HS – break ground in summer of 2013, anticipated
completion in Fall of 2015
Step 5: Remodel existing HS for MS in summer of 2015
Step 6: Move 10-12 students into new HS and 8-9 students into
remodeled HS in fall of 2015. MS will then be closed and
remodeled during 2015-16.
Step 7: Wallace students moved into remodeled MS in fall of 2016
