The school will have 32 classrooms. The target date, Knight said, is the summer of 2015. "Fall of 2015, we plan on making the change," he said. The change will include eliminating use of the buildings that house Wilson PreKindergarten Center and Harrison Elementary School. They might be sold to the public, Knight said. Cushing schools probably will shift to a grade-center format, with kindergarten and first grade in the existing Harmony Elementary School and second-, third- and fourth-graders moving into

the current Cushing Middle School. Pre-kindergarten will be moved into the Sunnyside Elementary building. All that, of course, depends on construction. "I am very happy today," Knight said Thursday afternoon. "I had a speech planned for this morning but nobody seemed to want to stick around and hear it." Dirt work is being done by C. Watts and Sons of Oklahoma City. Only the dirt work portion of the project has been bid out, Knight said. Bids will be taken beginning Dec. 17 on site utilities. Bids on construction of the actual building will be sent out in January. Knight said Lambert Construction of Stillwater is serving as the construction manager.

Inhofe, who said he plans to seek re-election in 2014, spoke against a recent change in Senate rules allowing the filibuster threshold to a simple majority instead of the previous 60-vote requirement to end filibusters.
