Two Christian County school districts will benefit from the more than $146 million in interest-free bonds for school construction projects announced by Gov. Jay Nixon’s office May 28.
The Sparta R-3 and Spokane R-7 will receive almost $4 million in interest-free bonds, saving the districts a considerable amount of money over the 20-year life of the loans.
“These bonds were one of the main aspects we campaigned on during the election,” said Sparta Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jeff Hyatt. “It’s going to save the district around $1.1 million over the 20 years.”

A 16-year-old Sparta High School student died June 6 after being pulled from the Finley River June 5 near the Riverside Inn location.
Christian County Sheriff Joey Kyle, June 7, identified the victim as Chancy Cobb. Kyle said the 16-year-old boy was swimming with three female friends at about 4 p.m. June 5 when he went under in a deep pool and failed to surface. Two passing people in a kayak pulled the boy from the river and began resuscitation techniques. He was transported to Cox South Hospital that same day and transferred to the neuro-intensive care unit where he later died.

Christian County resident Allen Nichols attended Sparta’s April Board of Aldermen meeting seeking approval for his new business—Al’s Cook Shack.
