Facilities Work Session: SitelogiQ presented information in regard to the facility study that they have conducted in the district.  The facility study was free of cost.  The free assessment included information about the state of the district’s current elementary buildings. It was shown that many of our buildings have equipment or building structures that are in need of updating with some of the equipment as old as the building. Designs were also presented for a Fieldhouse. The district is in need of additional space for practices at all levels. With the addition of the girls wrestling program, the district is even more in need. The designs presented included additional basketball courts, wrestling practice rooms, a possible track and athletic storage and offices. Estimated costs were presented. The district needs to decide if they want to proceed with any of these projects. If the district would decide to proceed with a project, they will not have to use SitelogiQ as the architect or manager of the project. Superintendent Carter will continue with conversations regarding facilities needs with the board at the next board meeting April 10, 2023.

The work session ended at 8:02pm.
