RALSTON- Schools in one of metro Omaha’s smallest districts would undergo major construction and renovation if voters approve a proposed $93.8 million bond issue.

Under the plan dubbed “Future Ready Ralston,” one elementary school would be demolished and rebuilt, others would be upgraded to modern security systems and floor plans, and the high school would get new competition baseball and softball fields. The last time Ralston Public Schools officials put a bond issue in front of voters was in 2001. At that time, voters approved a $26.5 million bond issue to renovate Ralston High School.

Superintendent Mark Adler said the goal of the new plan is to create modern learning environments, utilize space better, improve air quality and give students facilities comparable to those in other metro area districts. “We just want that for our kids and our teachers,” Adler said. The district’s enrollment is about 3,350 including prekindergarten.
