In November 2017, North Marion School District passed a bond for $42 million dollars. The school district had also received additional funds from bond proceeds, OSCIM and state seismic grants equaling another $11 million. Wenaha Group came on board in February 2018 and worked on initial designs and budget. The bond was for improvements at all four (4) of the district's schools, consisting of safety vestibules and upgraded security cameras and intercom systems, a new CTE and classroom wing at the high school, roof replacements at primary, intermediate and middle schools, high school track replacement, mechanical upgrades at middle school, and new parking lots. Seismic grants included work in both the high school and middle school gyms and lockers rooms.
