JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Planning is already underway for capital projects and summer projects in the Jamestown Public School District. Jamestown Superintendent Dr. Rob Lech says the district has been working through their summer projects prioritizations and working to marry that with the Capital Projects Plan. Dr. Lech says there is an opportunity with the bond proceeds and ESSER dollars to make significant headway on some of their facility projects. He added he would like to see Consolidated Construction cover the work completed through the Capital Projects Plan. ESSER Funding would also create more opportunities for the school district and community Lech added. He says they would have to use the funding to meet new or continuation of needs resulting from the pandemic, investments benefitting the district long-term, and opportunities to support educational innovations.
