On Monday, December 10, 2018, the Owatonna Public School Board accepted the Community Task Force on Facilities recommendation and authorized Superintendent Jeff Elstad to prepare a resolution with ballot language as well as the Review and Comment report as required by the Minnesota Department of Education for a May 14, 2019 school district special election.

The Owatonna Senior High School will host school tours in the weeks leading up to the May 14 election when voters will be asked to consider a building bond referendum for a new high school.

The tours are open to the public and will be conducted between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Tours will begin every half hour near the auditorium doors.
