August 14, 2010: Cornerstone of Traer School built after the 1917 fire.
It took a second try and a satellite voting station, but nearly two-thirds of North Tama voters approved a $14.85 million bond issue “to provide funds to build, furnish, and equip a new high school addition, including related remodeling and improvements; to remodel, repair, furnish, and equip the existing educational facilities; and to improve the site.” Full coverage in the Telegraph.
By the end of the decade, the building that opened in 1918 will be removed from its place at the center of the school complex. It’s going to be a huge change.
