Board hears summer construction update: 23 projects completed; Parkview and Dundee Crown highlighted
Summary
Ross Bertram reported completion of 23 summer projects across the 118-square-mile district (53 workdays), funded from cash reserves with an original combined budget around $14,000,000; he highlighted Parkview Elementary improvements and ongoing addition work at Dundee Crown High School.
Ross Bertram presented a summer capital projects summary, saying the district completed 23 projects across the 118-square-mile district over 53 workdays and that those projects were funded through cash reserves built over time. He said the figure does not include Parkview or Dundee Crown High School costs, and staff continue to finalize those final costs.
Bertram walked through before-and-after photos for many sites (transportation facility, Algonquin Lakes, Eastview, Golf View, Hampshire Middle, Jacobs High, Lakewood, Liberty, Lincoln Prairie, Meadowdale, Newbert, Westfield) and described major elements at Parkview (new front entrance, playground, traffic-flow changes) and Dundee Crown High School (demolition of an old front entrance, foundation work for a new addition). Administrators thanked construction partners LAMP, Dewberry, Leggett and district staff for completing the work on an accelerated schedule; staff cautioned reserves are finite as the district advances its master facility plan.
