The Pella Community School District held a board meeting last night and heard updates on some of their ongoing projects. Construction on a new HVAC system is still ongoing at the high school, and superintendent Greg Ebeling said that with it still being incomplete, the district should be prepared to act on unusually hot days at the high school.

According to the presentation given to the board, construction on the HVAC system at the high school should be complete by the end of October. The board also heard updates on its long-term projects with the Early Childhood Center as well as Jefferson Middle School, which are still in their very early stages, but remain on schedule at this time.
