Proponents of two high schools to address board

Issues related to the construction of a new high school are likely to dominate Monday night's discussion at the Jeffersion City School Board's regularly scheduled monthly meeting.

The board is expected to convene at 6 p.m. at the Dix Road Educational Center, 204 Dix Road, in the center's conference room, with a closed session set earlier at 4:30 p.m. in the building's reading room.

Rod Burnett and Dan Ortmeyer, spokesmen for the group "Citizens for 2 Public High Schools," will be addressing the board Monday with ideas about their group's preference for two high schools, as opposed to the single-school proposal the board is currently advancing.

The school board is also slated to discuss potential ballot language for the April 2 election.
