McDonald School Construction Behind Schedule

The construction at the new Region 2 Elementary School is still running behind schedule, despite moving a little closer to to the original projected timeline

Construction at the new Region 2 Elementary School is running approximately three weeks behind schedule, according to official reports. Mike Crain of Reynolds Construction Management told members of the Centennial School Board Operations Committee that the project was approximately 24 days behind schedule.  "That is a lot better than it was a couple of months ago, when it was about 40 days behind," he said.  Crain also asked the members of the committee to consider a change order estimated at $24,000.

My daughter's bus home from AM kindergarten at Willow Dale was very late on the 1st day, but I was very happy to see there was an aide on the bus making sure all the kids got off off at the right place. It has been pretty close to on time since then. I am satisfied.   more ›
