StructureTech leads cost-effective construction management for school district projects

The Caledonia Community Schools Board convened on April 24, 2025, to discuss key updates on ongoing construction projects and the upcoming millage vote. A significant focus of the meeting was the construction management services provided by StructureTech, a firm recognized for its effective oversight of roofing and paving projects. Board members noted that StructureTech has consistently delivered better value compared to other firms, such as Christman and Rockford, with a reported cost savings of approximately 4% on projects.

The board expressed confidence in StructureTech's ability to manage upcoming projects efficiently, as they have previously come in under budget. The details of the current bid will be finalized in time for the next committee meeting, ensuring that the board remains on track with its construction timeline.

In addition to construction updates, board members addressed community concerns regarding the upcoming millage vote. Board member Kate emphasized the importance of clear communication to the public, noting that many community members have expressed confusion about the nature of the millage compared to a bond. She encouraged fellow board members to publicly affirm their support for the millage to bolster community confidence.

Justin, another board member, shared his experiences in discussing the millage with constituents, highlighting that many residents were initially misinformed about its purpose. He noted that once he clarified the distinction between the millage and a capital improvements bond, many were more receptive to supporting the measure.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from board members to continue engaging with the community to clarify any misunderstandings about the millage, ensuring that voters are well-informed ahead of the election.
