Clark-Shawnee renovated and expanded its high school to include middle school students, and built a combined elementary school. That can be a significant boost for school districts, though it also requires a local match. Most schools get some kind of state support when rebuilding schools because it is expensive to build a new, energy-efficient school building. Fairborn passed levies in 2016, 2020 and this past spring to pair with OFCC money and pay for new elementary, intermediate, middle and high school buildings. The high school is estimated to cost about $90 million, and the middle school is estimated at $55 million.
