Construction progresses on middle school addition while project stays under budget

Construction progress and budget updates took center stage at the recent School Board meeting in Virginia, with officials reporting that the ongoing project is on track and under budget. As of now, the construction has reached 58.61% completion, with expenditures totaling $12,212,896.40, which is 46.98% of the allocated budget.

The board discussed a change order related to the project, emphasizing the importance of maintaining transparency as they move forward. With the project now past the halfway mark, officials are considering the potential to consolidate contingency funds for enhancements to the main building of the middle school.

Looking ahead, the board is also preparing for phase six of the project, which involves relocating modular classrooms. Recommendations for the placement of these modulars will be presented in future meetings, ensuring that the needs of the division are met effectively.

This update highlights the board's commitment to efficient project management and fiscal responsibility, as they continue to prioritize the educational environment for students.
