How much did the Miller 6th Grade Modular building cost?
Moving 6th grade to Miller was the final option selected after community input in order to comply with K-3 class size requirements. This was necessary so that we would not lose state funding. The potential loss would have been $750,000 each year. The good news is that we have been able to avoid that loss in state funding since we have been able to comply with the K-3 class size requirements.
The Miller Project was delayed into the fall in 2019 when additional engineering was required for the foundation. The change-order for that work was $200,000, yet the overall capital costs still came in under the amount appropriated by the School Board for the Capital Projects Fund. There was no cost over-run for this project. -
How much money are we saving in utilities with schools closed?
A three-year comparison report shows that while there have been savings in some areas, total overall costs for utilities have not gone down this year.
The School Board has asked for a report that compares other high-cost areas, which will be presented at the July 21 meeting.
