Board approves construction‑trades partnership with Scribe Development for house‑build program

The Tri Creek School Board approved a revised construction‑trades agreement with Scribe Development and Management LLC to continue the district’s student house‑build program. Dana and other staff summarized the change: the original community partner (referred to as Mr. Brooker) could not continue with the program and Scribe Development stepped into the role. The board approved essentially the same contract terms except that Scribe will not supply an on‑site tool trailer (a Connex/box). Staff said the district will use funds from the prior house‑build to purchase a storage box and had requested possible donated tandem trailers from local construction partners. Staff explained some reasons for the change: Brooker’s change in terms for lot purchase and the program’s preferred design (teacher feedback asked to focus on a one‑story structure for student learning) contributed to the switch in partners. The board recorded a motion, a second and a voice vote approving the agreement. Next steps: staff will finalize the trailer/box purchase using funds from the prior house‑build proceeds and coordinate with Scribe Development on project logistics.
