Catlin school building projects receive approval

CATLIN – School officials voted Thursday to sell $500,000 in life-safety bonds to help pay for some large building renovations.

School officials have been considering some improvements to make Catlin Grade School more energy-efficient – replacing the steam boiler and the hot-water boiler that heat the two wings of the school, replacing some drafty windows from 1952 and 1962 and replacing 11 external doors.
