Nebo board approves plans for new district office building Brooke Barker STAFF WRITER With Nebo School District Dis-trict growing by approximately approxi-mately 1,000 students a year, the Spanish Fork district office seems to be shrinking. "There are just as many people in the halls during dur-ing our board meetings as there are in the actual ac-tual room," said Steve Maughan, Nebo's director of operations. "Our building build-ing is just not adequate for our board meetings."

He also explained room for district employees is also becoming sparse in the building nine or 10 computer com-puter technicians share a room in the basement of the building.

Salem Hills High in Salem should be finished by fall 2008, and Maple Mountain High between be-tween Mapleton and Spanish Span-ish Fork is scheduled for completion by fall 2009.

"It's the beginning of a dream that we've all had for a long time." Kelly said Landmark High School was first opened in 1979 inside an old building located at 320 S. Main in Spanish Fork. The school is still in the same place and the building build-ing is no longer big enough to meet Landmark's needs, especially as the district's student population grows.
