The Adams Central Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to move forward with a bond issue to build a one site elementary school.

For more than a year, the board has been conducting surveys with patrons to determine what they would like for the future of the elementary system. The district currently has six elementary sites that fail to meet many ADA, fire and other requirements.

Results of the most recent survey indicated that 60 percent of the more than 600 patrons who voted prefered a one-site elementary school as their top choice over two- or three-site options.

The board plans to approve the the architect and fiscal agent at a special meeting Aug. 22 with the ballots to be mailed out to patrons in November.
