Alpena Public Schools inching closer to elementary school renovations

ALPENA, Mich. – Plans for the renovation of a few Alpena Public Schools is getting that much closer to a green light. The committee overseeing the district’s bond–funded renovations has reviewed the design budget for Ella White Elementary School.

According to Alpena Schools administrators, they are hoping to get the ball rolling on all major projects very soon.

“For Ella White we’ve got just a couple more steps, because that is a much larger project than each of the other projects,” said Alpena Schools Superintendent David Rabbideau. “So, we have some finalizations of internal plans, drawings, and blueprints, that sort of thing.”

According to Superintendent Rabbideau, once the additional plans are approved the district anticipates putting the project out to bid in mid January.

Plans for Wilson, Besser and Lincoln elementaries are expected to be reviewed in mid-January as well.
