The Hays school board will meet with representatives of Nabholtz Construction to discuss the bond bidding process and other items related to the bond projects at its meeting at 6:30 tonight at the Rockwell Administration Center.

Nabholtz is the construction manager at-risk on the bond projects.

The main project under the bond will be the construction of a new high school, which will include an auditorium. The bond will also renovate the current high school into a middle school and renovate the current middle school into an elementary school. Roosevelt and O'Loughlin elementary schools also will be renovated.

Lincoln Elementary School and Rockwell Administration Center will be closed. The Westside school program will be relocated.

A .5 percent city-wide sales tax to help pay for the bond projects will go into effect on Saturday.
