The Brown City School District's Board of Education is making plans to do an upgrade to its facilities.
The board discussed updating the gym with new bleachers and replacing the floor.
The floor and the bleachers have not been replaced since the school was built back in the 1970s.
District officials are in the process of gathering information about the gym project. The goal is to have the information gathered to go out for bids at the end of the 2025-2026 school year in June.
The tentative plan is to do that work over the summer so it is ready for sports in the fall.
Because the district levies a sinking fund millage, that money will be used to pay for the project.
Another change the board is working on is propane buses.
Approval was given to apply for a grant that provides about a 40 percent discount for two new propane buses.
In other matters, the scheduled early dismissal at 1 p.m., has been changed to no school to allow for a professional development day instead, and Snowcoming has been scheduled for Feb. 20, 2026.
