KENDALLVILLE, Ind. (WOWO): The planning phase has already begun for a new East Noble Middle School.

Voters approved a ballot referndum Tuesday to spend nearly $39-million on building a new facility, and East Noble School Corporation officials are already planning public meetings to get input on the project. Superintendent Ann Linson tells our partners in news at 21Alive that she was encouraged that the measure passed by a two-to-one vote, saying it shows that families in the community support and value education. 

She anticipates a groundbreaking for the new facility to happen sometime next summer.
