Board approves GMP amendment for Diley Middle School renovations to create kindergarten center
Summary
Trustees approved GMP Amendment No. 1 for interior work at Diley Middle School to convert spaces for a new kindergarten center, covering media-center reconfiguration, an added classroom, carpeting, door hardware and lowering the cafeteria serving line for kindergarten; a second GMP for site work is expected next meeting.
Pickerington trustees on March 23 approved Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 1 for interior renovations at Diley Middle School to prepare the building to become the district's new kindergarten center.
Mr. Weinheimer summarized the amendment as focused on interior work: reconfiguring the media center to add a classroom, replacing/adding carpet in the adjoining technology room, modifying door hardware and lowering the cafeteria serving line to accommodate kindergarten students. Staff told the board a second GMP, expected at the next meeting, will cover site work, playground expansion and parking/queuing adjustments and will likely top roughly $1 million.
The board approved the GMP amendment by unanimous roll-call vote. Staff said the renovations are timed to have the kindergarten center ready for the 2026-27 school year.
Next steps: the construction team will proceed under the approved GMP amendment and the district will return to the board for the forthcoming site-work GMP.
