HMK pre-K remodel proceeds rapidly; board hears construction update
Summary
District staff told the board the HMK pre-K remodel is moving quickly with extensive demo and plumbing work, front-circle and playground renovations and active contractor crews on site.
District staff reported to the Grand County School Board on construction progress at the HMK pre-K site, saying contractors have advanced interior demolition, exposed plumbing and are working on the front circle and playground area.
A district speaker told members that the contractor has impressed staff with the number of workers on site and the pace of work. "If y'all get a chance to go by, you can see quite a bit done," the speaker said, noting demolition of interior finishes and floor excavation to expose plumbing.
The board acknowledged a single outstanding item they called a "snafu" but said overall progress was "really, really rapid." Staff cautioned visitors about safety and noted site access will require coordination with the district because of construction zones.
Why this matters: HMK is a capital project funded by the district; construction timing affects the start of programs and the district's capital fund. Board discussion later touched on how HMK bills will deplete capital reserves and the board's plan to rebuild capital via levy adjustments.
Ending: Board members and staff encouraged trustees and community members to schedule a guided site visit rather than wandering onto the active work site for safety.
