PROJECT MONITORING

MEASURING IMPACT

The status of the project is monitored during bi-weekly meetings with the District team. This will continue during construction. The project’s construction manager will provide monthly schedule updates and monthly financial reports to track schedule, costs and issues. The same District teammonitored the recent elementary school projects both of which were delivered on time and under budget.

Requests from the community to use the dated facilities at the existing High School often exceed the available capacity. The additional space for community after school programs in the new building will minimize conflicts between programs and allow growth of existing and new community-led programs. Indoor and outdoor teaching , athletic and performance spaces support adaptable and resilient programs for student, faculty and community regardless of pandemic conditions.
