The Pella School Board approved a contract for the final major project related to the November 2021 bond issue at their meeting Monday. The board accepted bids totaling $5.4 million to upgrade the current Pella High School football stadium, which will include new, bigger bleachers, renovations to restrooms, and a new press box. The project is expected to begin with demolition throughout the winter and new construction in the spring, with final completion scheduled late in the fall of 2024. At the meeting, the board also received an update about ongoing construction projects, approved the 2023-24 bus driver incentive project, and tabled the 100 series of board policies.
