Building Update
From Dr. Meade
November 19, 1999

The High School is still on schedule with the heating units to be shipped November 23rd and the heat recovery wheels on December 15th.  Roofing may be delayed due to having to place these items throughout the opening before enclosing the school.

Other items include:

The second floor walls are starting to go up and the floors have been poured.  We are moving initial build up of the East Parking lot to now and will cover the lot with the first asphalt base.

We have issues with delays on computer drops being placed in each classroom.  We have said that we wanted these but the delays have made it more expensive.  A lightening package has also been delayed in being considered and has become more expensive.

On the Middle/Primary school project, we have the design approved by the Board and are looking at the first specifications.

Minford School District has been approved for additional funds to help pay for the deep foundations and to provide for inflationary costs. The Controlling Board approved on July 26, 1999 the following funds: 
Foundations - $2,909,812
Inflation - $937,380
Total - $3,847,192

The new total project budget is now $34,742,192.
