With the passage of the bond issue, Madison Central will move forward with a $14.615 million dollar renovation of the high school. Updates will include bringing the school up to fire codes as well as renovating the arts, sciences, music, Culinary Arts, library, bathrooms, and adding a gym.

The project will be funded from $6.315 million in General Obligation bonds from increased property taxes and $8.3 million in capital outlay bonds, both over 20 years.

1,518 voted in favor of the bond issue, 815 voted against it.

The high school has not undergone any major changes since it was built in 1966.
