Work on Culver Community Middle/High School’s secure entrance will soon be underway. Plans call for a new main entrance to be built where the school’s library currently is.
Superintendent Karen Shuman told the school board Monday that preliminary work has begun. “If you noticed as you drove by today, there was a piece of plywood up in the library entrance window,” she told board members. “Easterday Construction was here to take the glass pane out, so that they could determine whether it spanned the whole window or was individual construction units. So they discovered that. It’s like they thought, so there’s no adjustments to their estimated cost.”
Shuman said the school has begun moving stuff into the new library, which will get new paint and carpeting over the next couple weeks. “Beginning July 1-2 there, Easterday Construction will be on-site and begin our new entrance to the Middle/High School, constructing a nurse’s station, and then be moving to updating the bathrooms outside the gym,” she added. “And their anticipated completion is before August 3.”
She reminded board members that the cost of the work is being covered by proceeds from a bond refinancing a few years ago.
