Just before the South Central Calhoun School Board approved asking voters to support a $5 million levy for building projects, board member Nick Spencer raised the kinds of questions he expects to hear from the community in the next five months.

Spencer referenced the adjusted project cost to remodel locker rooms at SCC High School, to add a gym to SCC Elementary School and add more offices and space for student and administrative services at the elementary school.
