BOONE, Iowa—In March, the voters in Boone Community School District approved a $23 million referendum to construct, furnish and equip a new elementary school building and to improve the site. This referendum passed with a staggering 80.54%, well above the state requirement of 60%.
On Friday, October 22, 2021 at 2:00pm, the district will be having a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the official start of construction for the new Boone Early Childhood Center at the construction site. The location is east of the intersection of Hancock Drive and South Jackson Street – 1805 Hancock Ave.
The building is slated to open for the 2023-24 school year. Students from Preschool to 1st Grade will attend the new building; it will replace the current Page and Lincoln Elementary Schools. School Board members, district staff, DLR Group, Lang Construction, ConStruct, Boone City Council Members, and Boone Chamber Members will take part in the official groundbreaking.
