The meeting included an architect's report with an update on construction handouts. The report reminded everyone that the demo cost was included in every option above the base price. The most critical need for classroom space right now is at the elementary, however, as larger grades move up the need for space at the middle school will increase. Options for increasing space at the elementary consist of adding classrooms on the primary end of the building, or renovating the current gym and constructing a new activities center. At the middle school, the goal will be to add a corridor and two classrooms with the ability to add additional classrooms later if necessary.
