Project description: Clever School District Superintendent Richard Henson said bonds approved by voters in April 2010 are funding the performing arts center, which will house the district’s growing arts and speech programs. The 510-seat auditorium, which includes a lobby area and a classroom for speech students, had been envisioned when Clever built a new high school three years ago, according to Henson. He said the district is working to secure funding for a storm shelter/band room connected to the center.
