However, in May 2018 the bond got 74% approval and so was passed. In summer 2018 the district was scheduled to begin construction on the current high school building, and it also planned to renovate the elementary school; the two were to cost $15.2 million. Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation provided $3.5 million for the facility prior to the last bond referendum and planned in summer 2018 to provide another $3.5 million. Additionally the new high school and a renovation of the elementary school was funded by a $5.4 million bond. The district plans to eventually replace the elementary building with an addition to the new high school building so there is one building for all students.
