OTTAWA — The Ottawa school board is considering a $1.8 million expansion project at Garfield Elementary School. If approved, the project would add new classrooms and enlarge the cafeteria, Supt. Dean Katt. Although the Ottawa student enrollment is steadily grow, the extra space is particularly need for special education classes, he said. If the board decides to proceed, the board would likely dip into its capital outlay fund, which is used for big-ticket and long-term purchases, rather than seek a bond issue, he said.
