Students wait in the lunch line at Clarkston High School recently. The Clarkston School District is the subject of a $20 million bond issue that raises annual taxes by 1 mill per year for Clarkston residents. The Oakland Press/TIM THOMPSON

Residents within the Clarkston School District will have a decision to make on Tuesday, May 8 whether to support the $20 million school bond proposal.

The bond would be used for remodeling, equipping and furnishing school buildings; acquiring and installing educational technology in school buildings; and developing and improving athletic facilities and sites.

Every student and teacher within the school district would have access to a handheld technology device, such as an iPad, according to administration.

The current enrollment of the school district is about 8,100 students. The bond series would provide the district with $10 million in 2012 and $5 million each in 2016 and 2020.

Supporters, who call themselves Clarkston Kids First, stressed that this bond will allow the school district to catch up with surrounding districts.

Clarkston Kids First member Aimee Baker, mother of a fifth-grader and a ninth-grader, said, Were not trying to lead the way. Were just trying to catch up.

George White, former principal of Pine Knob Elementary and former Clarkston High School teacher, said, Were trying to provide an opportunity for our kids to be competitive when they leave Clarkston Schools and go into the work force so they have similar skills and a similar background to move forward.

$20M Clarkston school bond includes remodeling plan, iPads for students WITH VIDEO

ST. PAUL, Minn. Peg Wangensteen and her husband, Doug, had been in their St. Paul home for about 40 years when a number of things inspired them to remodel their upstairs bathroom this spring.

"One was our granddaughter saying to us, 'Grandma why do you have paint peeling off the ceiling of your bathroom,'" she said. "But it was also that the water pressure wasn't as good. It was the room was kind of cool because it had two outside walls."

Workers gutted the bathroom to the studs and installed new insulation, sheetrock and tile. They also replaced aging pipes, along with the bathroom window, sink, toilet and tub.

It was a significant expense but the Wangensteens think they received a good deal, saving about $1,000.

"We thought the bids were going to be better than they might be in a few years from now," she said. "We have a sense that there isn't as much remodeling going on and that people want the work. We were hoping to tap into that."

As more homeowners undertake such projects, the hard-hit construction industry appears to be recovering slowly -- improvement is starting to show up in the remodeling business.

But times are still tough in the building trades. These days there's often intense competition for the remodeling work that is available. That's pushed down the cost of home renovations.

Many remodelers agree with Peg Wangensteen's read of the market.

Dustin and Patti Lavallee's project to remake their unfinished, dank basement into a full-on, mini apartment landed Dustin in the ER only three times.

Once he was in a hurry to cut something; twice he didn't use protective goggles.

He imparts these lessons learned with the skill of the middle-school teacher he is: holding his hand up to prove his thumb is still attached; pointing to his eyes, which still work.

The project transformed 800 square feet of, well, not much -- other than a washer and dryer as far from the stairs as possible, some water damage along the side wall, a toilet sort of in the middle of nowhere, and a few windows tucked up next to the ceiling.

The one thing the space had was a ceiling high enough for 6-foot-2 Dustin to clear.

The other thing the space had was two owners with smarts, design savvy, patience and pluck.

"You really have to see what it used to look like," Dustin says, walking down the newly re-coated concrete stairs, explaining that there was one load-bearing wall and an exposed furnace and water heater.

"It was icky," he says.

But not any longer.

In a year of weeknights and weekends, the Lavallees created a basement in their Northeast Portland home worthy of renting out -- something they considered until they fell in love with it too much.
