YME Construction Updates
Yellow Medicine East School District is moving forward with transformative improvements to our school facilities following strong voter approval of the $74.395 million bond referendum in August 2025. With 70% community support, this investment reflects a shared commitment to providing safe, modern, and inspiring learning environments for our students.
This website will serve as a central hub for construction updates, progress reports, timelines, and key milestones throughout the project. We are grateful for the trust placed in our district and look forward to keeping our community informed every step of the way.

Where are we at in the process?
While visible construction is still ahead, there is a tremendous amount of work happening right now behind the scenes. Our team is actively coordinating design details, bid packages, schedules, and logistics to ensure the project moves forward smoothly and responsibly. This level of preparation is essential to staying on track, managing costs, and delivering a high-quality outcome..
Yellow Medicine East School District welcomes and strongly encourages local contractors and businesses to participate in the bidding process for this project. If you are interested in submitting a bid for any portion of the work, we invite you to do so. Supporting local involvement is important to us, and we value the skill, expertise, and partnership of businesses within our region as we invest in the future of our schools and community.
