The architect finally completed the building plan and cost estimate.
The addition would be to the North end of the school. It would be a two story addition, two classrooms on each level.
It would extend out to the edge of the current garage. The garage would be moved back further into the open parking lot.
The upper level classrooms would be 949 and 961 square feet. There is also a 200 square foot storage area at the end of the hallway.
The lower classrooms would be 952 and 1041 square feet. There is a small vestibule on the outside of the building for entry.
Estimated cost for construction $1,338,000 and architect fees approximately $107,000 for a total of $1,450,000.
The levy increase over 30 years would be around 4 cents based on current valuation. This would be a payment of about $80,000 per year. A more definite number will be available after consultation with our current Bond company D.A. Davidson.
The four new classrooms would be used to provide more space for Mrs. Wegner's elementary special education and Mrs. Brummond's class (third grade this year). Mr. Peter's and Mrs. Hawk would also have a classroom, instead of sharing space with other teachers. Mrs. Wegner's room would become the nurse's office (she is currently using the girls locker room office) and Mrs. Brummond's room would be used for elementary reading and math groups (they are currently in the hallway).
