The community-based Facility Advisory Committee is composed of 45 individuals representing a broad cross-section of the Mid-Prairie community, including parents, district staff, and a mix of public and private sector professionals working in professions such as construction and construction administration, healthcare, agriculture, telecommunications, business, banking, public administration, and elected offices. This broad representation was purposeful to ensure that recommendations reflect both the instructional needs within the buildings and the community’s expectations around financial stewardship.

The plan for additions and renovations at the high school includes a new auditorium and new band and choir classrooms. A new event foyer will connect the auditorium to the current gymnasium and will include new ADA-compliant restrooms as well as new event/activities concessions. Renovating the current band and choir classrooms will allow special education to move to the first level. The current special education classrooms will then be converted to create much-needed space for general education use and additional ADA-compliant restrooms for the building.
The projects will require a bond vote, but will not increase the district’s property tax levy rate.

Watch for more information in the coming weeks as we share additional details about the proposed improvements and what they could mean for Mid-Prairie students, staff, and families.

On August 13, during a special meeting, the Mid-Prairie School Board unanimously approved a resolution to call an election for November 3, 2026. On the ballot is a question that would allow the district to issue bonds to pay for the next phase of facility work.

The proposed plan includes fine arts and special education classrooms, a new events entrance, and a 500-seat auditorium. All of these projects were identified as priorities by the community during planning that began in 2023.

The special meeting was called after the board received a petition with 881 signatures from eligible electors in the district. This surpassed the required number of signatures needed to put the question on the ballot.

Watch for more information in the coming weeks as we share additional details about the proposed improvements and what they could mean for Mid-Prairie students, staff, and families.
