489 board to prepare questions for architects on $100M upgrade

Monday’s USD 489 Board of Education work session includes continued discussion on the Facility Needs Committee’s $100 million in recommendations to improve districts buildings, funded with a proposed bond election in November 2015.

TheĀ  board will develop questions for the Oct. 27 board meeting during which representatives from HTK Architects and a financial adviser from Piper-Jaffray are scheduled to attend and “walk us through some of the questions that we had asked,” said Superintendent Dean Katt.

The board will ask how a three year phase-in of the proposed projects would work and look like financially.

Also on the agenda is a finance report, technology review and updated enrollment data collected Sept. 22.

The work session will take place in the gym of Lincoln Elementary, 906 Ash St, and begin with a tour of the school at 6 p.m. Monday.

In September, the board decided to rotate work sessions within the district’s schools in hopes parents and community members would feel more comfortable coming to the untelevised and public meetings.

A full agenda can be found on the USD 489 website HERE.
