Jeff Tollefson is the district’s Chief Operating Officer…
Tollefson brought up the possibility of adding an indoor playground area, which the board is in favor of. The board approved extending the contract with the DLR Group to develop the new wing. A public hearing is set for the next school board meeting on October 14th regarding the issuance of approximately 21 million dollars in school infrastructure sales, services, and tax revenue bonds for the project. Property taxes will not be affected.
The third phase will add a pre-k wing to the Early Elementary School. The new wing is expected to be completed by the fall of 2026. The total cost of the project is estimated at 17.5 million dollars.
