Monday night the Waterloo school board unanimously approved a $15.6 million renovation project. The project will modernize the Waterloo Career Center, located in the Central Middle School, as well as add another floor of classrooms, brand new equipment, and 10 new interest areas for students. The center is in its second year. Executive Director of Professional Technical Education Jeff Frost says the renovations are needed because of the demand in the workforce and the high interest of students. Frost also said the center is already planning four new areas for next school year, which will be announced soon. The project is currently expected to be completed in 2021.
