Construction News 

At a called board meeting on November 1, the school board approved bids on the first phase of the bond construction projects. The first phase includes the site work at Jackson Elementary and the high school field house project. A groundbreaking ceremony for the Jackson project will be held at Jackson Elementary at 12:00 noon on Thursday, November 8.

The total Jackson site work bid package was $745,106. The work is scheduled to begin on Monday, November 12. The site work will continue through the month of February. The Jackson building bid date is December 15, with work to begin on the building erection just after the first of the year. It is anticipated that this phase of the project will cost about $5,500,000. The completion date on the building is scheduled for April 2009. 

The bid on the field house project was $3,564,780. This project is to begin with the demolition phase on November 12. The projected completion date is August 2008.

We are looking forward to the beginning of construction. As with any project of this size, there will be some traffic issues for parents and students as we proceed through these projects. Please be patient through these inconveniences. Every effort will be made to ensure that the student learning environment will be undisturbed.
