Summary
Superintendent Larson reported elementary and middle school construction remain on schedule and on budget, warned of traffic impacts at Veterans Parkway/Arrowhead Parkway, gave graduation and last-day dates, and outlined a preliminary budget hearing in May and a public hearing in July.
Superintendent Larson told the Brandon Valley School District 49-2 Board of Education that district construction projects are progressing on schedule and on budget and that staff expect key work to be completed in time for the start of the next school year.
Larson said work at an elementary school and at Brandon Valley Middle School is on time and on budget, and cautioned the public that summer work and intersection work at Veterans Parkway and Arrowhead Parkway could cause traffic bottlenecks. "It is going to be a bit of a mess," Larson said, advising people to avoid the intersection where possible.
Larson also reviewed the academic calendar: graduation is scheduled for May 10, the last day for students is May 21 with a two-hour early dismissal, and a half-day teacher workshop is scheduled for the 22nd as stated. He announced an employee recognition banquet for May 5 at the Brandon Valley High School commons.
On the budget timeline, Larson said the district will hold a preliminary budget hearing in May and a public hearing in July, after which the board may take potential action. He invited questions and said staff will continue updates as the district proceeds through the budget process.
Next steps: staff will present the preliminary budget at the May hearing and return in July for the public hearing and possible board action.
