MONROE - The future campus of Ohio's newest school district came into sharper focus Monday evening as planners unveiled the latest design for the educational complex that will house all Monroe's K-12 students beginning in fall 2004.

        Monroe Board of Education members, who met at the city council chambers for the design presentation, hailed the designs as an exciting addition to the young district, which was formed in 2000 after splitting off from Middletown schools.

        “It will be state-of-the-art,” said Monroe Superintendent Arnol Elam. To assure that, he added, district officials have decided to hold off on ordering any educational technology until next year so the most modern equipment will be featured in the $29.6 million school campus at the northeast corner of Ohio 63 and Yankee Road.

        Mr. Arnol said construction bids will be solicited for the school next month. The site is being cleared for construction.

        Michael Dingeldein, architect and vice president of Steed, Hammond and Paul, which designed the school, also created the Lakota West and East high schools.
