When: Ephrata school board meeting, April 19. What happened: Business Manager Kristee Reichard said the district will move the bid opening for its planned $38 million construction project to May 3. After discussions between Superintendent Brian Troop, architects and Reichard, they decided to move the bid opening because of supply-chain issues. There are issues with steel and getting some of the equipment, Reichard said. Background: The project has three main components including an addition to Ephrata High School to accommodate expanded music and performing arts spaces. Also, a program called Project Build a Better Future, which teaches students ages 18-21 with special needs how to prepare for life outside the classroom, would move from the Washington facility to the high school. The headquarters for the student services department, also there, would move to the high school. The project also has a complete HVAC system replacement at Ephrata High School and Middle School.
