Levy dollars put to good use! 🎾 Our district is excited to be completing one of the final projects funded through previous supplemental levies. Prep work has already begun on refurbishing the tennis courts at Minico High School. The project officially begins May 14, with anticipated completion around May 22. Courts are expected to be ready for use by approximately May 28, depending on weather and other factors.
