When your students are out of school this summer, construction work will be in session at Algoma School District. Last month, the Algoma School Board approved a proposal from Bayland Buildings to perform the work approved by voters through a $10.2 million referendum passed in April 2024. The improvements include new plumbing and roofing at Algoma Elementary School, safety upgrades at the middle/high school, replacing the middle/high school's parking lot and track, updating the lighting, sound, and ceiling tile at the Algoma Performing Arts Center, and remodeling portions of the middle/high school including the band and choir room, the Algoma Venture Academy, agriculture classroom, and restrooms. Algoma Superintendent Jesse Brinkman says the work will be done in phases to cause the least disruption for staff and students.

Brinkman is hopeful the work will be finished by the fall.
