HAVEN, Kan. — Residents who live in the Haven School District approved a $12,000,000 bond issue Tuesday with 542 voting “yes,” to 401 saying “no.”
The money will be used for a new roof, gym, new baseball and softball diamonds and a new weight room for the high school, improvements to the middle school, including a new roof and HVAC units.
