At last weeks Pella school board meeting an update was given on the Career Academy. Superintendent Greg Ebeling tells KNIA/KRLS that the budget is around $4.8 million. He says that the first round of bids came in approximately $800,000 high, but after repositioning the building on the site, and carving 2,000 square feet off the building, they believe they will receive favorable bids when they meet in mid May. Ebeling concludes by saying that most people won’t even be able to notice the differences in the new design.
