Some of Mr. Eichten's 8th grade woodworking students finished their required woodworking projects and wanted to design and paint wooden pumpkins for Halloween. Logan and Jonny designed and drew freaky pumpkin faces. With a little help from their teachers, the faces were wood burned in. All in all, it was a fun way to end the quarter and kick off Halloween. Nice work guys! Go Dragons! 🐉 🎃 🐉

Mr. Eichten's woodworking classes just finished up their custom made cutting boards. The students had the options to router the edges of the board and add grease channels if they preferred. They also had the choice to laser engrave images, words, or names in their cutting board if they wanted. All around it was a fun project to have before we get to hunting season and Thanksgiving break. Many of the students already have plans on when and where they will use their cutting board first. Nice work guys and Go Dragons!

Over the past decade, more than three different groups have been hired to examine the challenges of ground settling at the elementary school and propose solutions. Each group proposed similar plans with comparable costs (adjusted for inflation). These proposals resulted from community participation in a six-month study conducted about a year and a half ago. The options for the elementary school ranged from $29 to $48 million. From there, the board refined these proposals to establish the final option to be presented to the taxpayers in a referendum. The school board has worked hard to refine these proposals to meet the district's needs and gain voter support. The project's value is higher due to the inclusion of Long-Term Facility Maintenance Projects.
The question is whether hiring a fourth group will yield different results or if continued delays will cause the price to keep rising.
The detailed estimates were prepared by our construction manager, RA Morton, with assistance from our architects and engineers at LHB Inc., and other consultants used by the district for roofing and other maintenance issues. A detailed estimate is available on the district’s website. The inflationary values come from these groups and a comparison to projects proposed by other firms in the area, using similar inflationary values.
Public projects face the challenge that project documents (including budgets) must be submitted to the Department of Education for review and approval months before the referendum and up to a year before the project documents are ready for bidding. This review provides checks and balances to ensure consistency with other projects across the state (in terms of space programs, square feet per student, and budgets).
Concerns regarding bidding are also managed through a controlled process. The design professional creates the bid documents, the district’s attorney reviews the bidding rules, and the construction manager oversees the bid process and bidder qualifications. Inconsistencies are addressed by the district’s attorney, and the entire process is part of the district’s annual audit. This is the same process we use for various purchases at the district, and by statute, we must follow the rules established by the State of Minnesota.
Thanks to the many of you for asking questions, visiting the schools, and keeping the conversation constructive, positive and free of offensive language regardless of your position or beliefs. If there are any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call our superintendent or any of the school board members.
