The Winn Parish School Board is seeking approval for a significant investment in local educational facilities at the State Bond Commission meeting scheduled for Friday, April 17, 2026, at 9 a.m.. The board has proposed a bond issue not to exceed $23 million for Consolidated School District No. 12.

According to the official agenda, the general obligation bonds would carry an interest rate not exceeding 7% and mature over a period of up to 20 years. The funds are designated for capital school expenditures, most notably the construction of a new gymnasium at Winnfield Senior High School.

Additionally, the project includes additional classrooms and renovations at Winnfield Middle School, along with necessary equipment and furnishings.
