July 2024

• The focus of CTE at Monarch K-8 is to update current spaces to allow for more collaboration and maker spaces.  A maker space adjacent to the media center is of particular interest with this school.  We are looking at how to open areas up to allow more efficient use in these spaces. 
• SD documents were issued at the end of April and pricing received is showing that this project is also over budget.  We have identified that most of the overages on this project are building code related to lighting and fire alarm scopes.      
• DDs were received on July 3rd with final CDs scheduled to deliver to BVSD on August 23rd.
