EC-3 Elementary School Building

It is the goal of Decorah District to build a state of the art elementary learning center for area youngsters. District leaders are committed to designing a school that promotes collaboration among students and teachers and places emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) learning. The building will offer an outdoor teaching area, high-quality play space, and an environment that promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and communication amongst students.

District Bus Garage

A bus barn task force has been working to determine a new location to house the District’s fleet. The District requires approximately four acres to house the bus barn, which will include a heated shop for working on buses, a wash bay, offices, and more. The site plan for the proposed facility could hold up to 46 buses.
