Today is voting day for the Indianola Community School District Bond Issue. Voters will decide on the issuance of $70 million in bonds for improvements to Indianola High School, known as the “Replace in Place” plan. Superintendent Ted Ihns tells KNIA News the plan will include the addition of a new commons area to link the gym, auditorium, and academic area, creating a new “heart” for IHS, a new two-story academic wing built to the west and an athletics and career-technical expansion to the north, along with increased parking and improved traffic flow.

Voting takes place at the Indianola American Legion, and the bond needs to cross the 60% threshold in order to pass. If the bond passes, property taxes will not be increased.
