Jasper- On Monday night, the Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools Board (GCJS) approved construction via a unanimous vote.

Construction will begin on replacing the roof on the Cabby O’Neill Gym. The board approved the recommended bid of $213,000 by Midwest Roofing out of Evansville. According to members of the board, the gym is used throughout the year by various teams and patrons, including the Jasper Girls Basketball and Cheerleading teams. Currently, the gym is in use three times per day, according to the board. Construction is on hold until January 2023 due to material shortages.
