Board Member Questions & Comments

Mr. Swartzmiller came to speak with board about an alternative plan for the 2015-2016 school year. We do not have a building for that school year. We found a local steel building manufacturer that can build what we need for $5,000,000.00 in 14 months vs. $13,000,000.00 proposed by Lami-Greb. We were very excited about this, but we met with Lami-Greb and the Sisters of St. Joseph’s and told them about the new bid and that we couldn’t afford their bid. Lami-Greb is going to re-work their numbers in order to get it to a price that we could afford. The Board is awaiting Lami-Greb’s new bid to decide how to proceed.

It was also discussed that the board needs to add members and we should begin search.

Adjournment

Dr. Pamela Rossi-Keen voted to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Fleeson and was approved by all.
