Kremlin-Hillsdale seeks voter approval on new school facility

KREMLIN, Okla. On the ballot Aug. 26 for residents of the Kremlin-Hillsdale Public Schools district is an $8.8 million bond issue to build a new high school/middle school facility and a few additional projects.

School officials hope for the nod to:

Build a new 34,500-square-foot, 16-classroom high school/middle school building with a safe room, secure entrances and district and administration offices inside the front entrance.

Install a new heating and cooling system in the existing large gymnasium attached to the elementary building and cafeteria.

Add new drive lanes, drop-offs and parking to ease congestion and increase safety.

Build a new vo-ag facility.

Build an all-purpose practice facility and performing arts building and locker rooms attached to the high school.

Build a new transportation building with garage bays to accommodate full-size buses, store more district vehicles, easy access to bus loop and a maintenance shop.

Scott Vrooman, director of architecture for Tulsa-based TriArch, noted the new design preserves some of the heritage of the original Kremlin school.

The design retains the original brick facade from the 1931 original building, Vrooman said. We are keeping it as a gateway.
