ELY – School board members here had few questions Monday night as construction officials provided a building project update during a monthly study session.
Representatives from Kraus Anderson and Architectural Resources Inc. are looking to maintain an open dialogue with school officials as the $20 million project proceeds. School administration are meeting regularly with construction officials as the beginning of the 2021-22 school year nears and learning spaces, some temporary, are prepared for students to occupy in just a few weeks.
Spaces for band, choir and industrial arts classes, as well as Early Childhood Family Education and other areas must be ready to go by the beginning of September. The first day of the new school year is Tuesday, Sept. 7. Students and staff will be spending in the year in a construction zone as the building project won’t be complete until the beginning of the 2022-23 school year.
