District reports referendum progress and schedule changes for contractor work
Summary
Administrators reported the referendum remaining contract price at $537,062, furniture costs about $25,000 under estimate with remaining funds for the library, and said calendar adjustments will let contractors do summer work while preserving teachers' contractual hours.
The district administrator reported a referendum and facilities update to the board, saying remaining contract obligations totaled $537,062 to address items including a long-running basement water leak, heating and cooling updates, some asbestos abatement, new carpet and ceiling tiles, gym and brick painting, and new keyless/digital access.
The administrator said furniture purchases came in roughly $25,000 under earlier estimates and that the remaining funds will be invested in the library. Interest earned on referendum funds was reported in the meeting as 67,25456 (as recorded in the transcript); the board may wish to verify the figure for bookkeeping.
To accommodate contractors, administrators said they will shift teacher schedules and offer a way for staff to flex the eight contractual hours to ensure work can be done and teachers meet contractual obligations. The board was notified that the June 10th timeframe for referendum work will affect space availability and that the annual meeting and board meetings will need relocation in June, July and August.
Board members shared brief celebrations of student events and performances and set the board's next meeting for May 26; they then adjourned the session.
