SUMMARY: The Petal School District is looking forward to receiving the first payment for their all-in bond referendum, nearly one year after it was passed. The payment will help fund a new elementary school and multi-purpose center. Superintendent Matt Dillon expects to receive the money by the end of March, allowing the district to start deciding on bids for the project. Once the notice to proceed is received, work on the project is expected to begin. The new elementary school is set to be located along Herrington Road, adjacent to the Petal Primary School, and is expected to be completed within the next two school years after the district receives the notice to proceed.
