LATEST PROGRESS:
September 13, 2022
Dr. Bein updated the Board of Education on the progress related to the Full Day Kindergarten programming expected to open in August 2024. This is something Dr. Bein and District 25 Administrators plan to do regularly.
The update covered the following topics:
- Bond Sale Update
- Classroom information - Confirmed number of classrooms needed is 25
- Architectural plans - Slight changes to Olive & Westgate (These since have been updated)
- Construction Status Update
The Board approved the issuance of not to exceed $62 million in bonds. The reason for the initial sale of $62 million is because some investors may want discount bonds. This will result in $60 million in bond proceeds. The District projects that the remainder of the $75 million in bonds approved through the referendum will be sold in 2025 when needed.
FEEL GOOD STORY
These students can teach us some valuable lessons about trial, error, and redesign. They were given a propeller and a rubber band and we told to make some sort of car that could move 4 m on its own.
#NewTeacherTuesday
