The Wisconsin School Board convened on May 6, 2025, to discuss significant developments regarding the Edgerton school site plan and upcoming construction projects. The meeting focused on the logistics of the new gym entrance, construction timelines, and site safety measures.
The first topic addressed was the entrance to the new gym at Edgerton. Board members clarified that during school hours, students will enter through the main entrance and navigate through the school to access the gym. After hours, a separate entrance will be available for community programs, with measures in place to secure other areas of the building.
Following this, the board reviewed the construction schedule for the Edgerton addition and pool. The schematic design phase has been completed, and a budget will be shared with stakeholders. The next steps include design development, with a check-in scheduled for July, and the completion of construction documents by the end of the year. Bidding for the project is anticipated to begin in April 2026, with the pool addition starting first to ensure continuity of services.
Site logistics were also a key focus, with discussions on minimizing disruption during construction. A construction fence will be established to separate construction activities from the school environment, ensuring safety for students and staff. The board emphasized the importance of maintaining access routes for buses and parent drop-off areas while preserving green spaces for student activities.
In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to enhancing school facilities while prioritizing safety and accessibility during the construction process. Further updates will be provided as the project progresses, with ongoing discussions planned to address any emerging concerns.
