THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The board discussed options for adding an additional classroom, comparing the construction of a new room north toward the playground at an estimated 300 per square foot with converting an existing storage room to a classroom at roughly 200 per square foot. Scott expressed a preference for the storage-room conversion, which would require adding windows, and the estimated cost range for this option is 60,000 to 70,000.
Leslie moved to proceed with obtaining a final estimate for the storage-room conversion, and Erin seconded, indicating the district is moving from conceptual discussion into more concrete planning. This creates a near-term opportunity for architectural, engineering, and construction firms to provide design, cost estimating, and build-out services tailored to a small rural school setting. Vendors could engage around code-compliant classroom design, maximizing natural light and storage, and phasing work to minimize disruption to school operations.
The district is seeking a final estimate and has not yet selected a contractor, suggesting that design-build or small-project contractors could still influence scope and approach.
