    July 9, 2024 - Early Childhood Development Center Update

    August 5, 2024: We are excited to report that we received the demolition permit on July 18, 2024. Our construction vendor, Weatherby Construction & Renovation, Corp., has begun demolition and arranged for additional staff to expedite the process. On August 5, 2024, the construction vendor will begin work on the interior underground plumbing trenches.

    August 14, 2024: The interior demolition of the building is progressing according to schedule. All offices on the first floor have been demolished. On August 6, 2024, demolition began in the mechanical room on the second floor. A small amount of interior demolition remains to be done.  The contractor has also started laying out the metal base track to outline the doorways, classrooms, and bathrooms on the second floor. In addition, the contractor has started to cut the concrete floor for the installation of significant drainage piping for all of our new PK classrooms.  We are pleased with the progress of the demolition and will continue to do everything necessary to adhere to our established timelines.

    September 4, 2024: The interior demolition is nearly complete, with all walls, wiring, ductwork, and other materials removed. New metal stud framing is currently being installed. Additionally, 90% of the second floor has been completed, and significant progress is being made on the first floor. Trenching is ongoing for the installation of our new piping system.
