The new sound system in the gym now has a digital panel and preset settings, greatly improving the sound system, giving staff the ability to adjust volume and turn off certain speakers.Work has finished on the asbestos abatement in the science lab. It was completely cleaned out, cleared out, stripped down, and is now ready to go for the work on it this summer.

The spring calendar includes high school baccalaureate on May 13, honor awards on May 14 and high school graduation on May 15, with a drug-free party at Thrill House planned.

NCOE: Bond Funds Moved for Summer Maintenance Projects; Yearbook Digitization Nears Completion; 

March 24, 2026 by Kathy Sands

The NCOE board last Wednesday night gave its approval to transfer bond funds sold last year from the working cash fund to the capital projects fund in order to begin utilizing them for summer maintenance projects. The amount with interest is $3,183,161.08.

“Since we are starting our maintenance projects for this coming summer, we're starting to get bills come in for that project,” Superintendent Vollman told the board. “I recommend we transfer basically what our bond is that we sold that went into working cash, plus any interest that we've made since it's been in there, and we move it to capital projects, because we can't spend money out of working cash. It's like a savings fund account. So we have to move it to capital projects in order to utilize that money for capital projects. We could do it incrementally. I recommend we just do it in one fell swoop and be done with it.”

Construction/destruction will begin at the high school in the science lab on Monday.

“They're coming in to take out a lot of the stuff in the science lab to get ready for the asbestos abatement that will happen over spring break, which is the following week,” Vollman said.
