Board hears update on referendum construction; house at 128 S. Center St. to be razed before school opens
Summary
Superintendent Francois reported design-team walkthroughs with Nexus and stakeholders, asbestos-abatement-related delay, and plans to raze the house at 128 S. Center Street before school opening to make room for a loading dock and receiving area.
Superintendent Francois updated the board on the 2025 referendum building project, reporting the design team will conduct a walkthrough with Nexus and stakeholders next week. He said asbestos-abatement work caused a slight delay but that the house at 128 S. Center Street is scheduled for razing before school begins so the site can accommodate a loading dock and receiving area.
Board members asked about an ADA-compliant ramp by the WEC office and landscaping plans near that area. Dr. Francois said kitchen plans were revised to remain within budget and that the team is optimistic construction bids will come in below conservative estimates; engineering solutions so far look favorable.
The update was informational; the project remains in pre-construction and the administration will continue to brief the board as bids and schedules are finalized.
