PRIORITY BUSINESS
A. Project Update CHA/Daedalus Update
Ms. Sawyer explained that the groundbreaking of the new building project needs to be scheduled. The MSBA is
allowing the District to pick a date. The suggestion is in May and create a subcommittee to head that up.
Also Ms. Sawyer reported that in regard to the builders' risk insurance,they have received bids back but were
very high, so Brait Builders has been asked to give some numbers and she should have an update of that
information at the next meeting.
B. Fiansburgh_Update
Mr. Cruz reported that they have been processing shop drawings and getting ready for construction. Demolition
on E Building is scheduled to happen next Monday and then move on to G Building. Many of the trees have been
cut down to be ready for construction. Topsoil has been removed and work on geotechnical test pits is being
done,so that excavation for the foundations can begin.
C. Review of Chanee Orders
Chair Levasseur reported that the Change Order Group met yesterday and is still reviewing the extra work for the
modulars. The cost is less than$96K at this time and continues to be updated. There is a small problem with the
drainage underneath the modulars that will result in a change order that will be wrapped up into a larger change
order request. (That will be fixed during school vacation). The subcommittee meets as needed and so far,there
has been a significant need to meet frequently, which ultimately is good for the overall project budget.

D. Campus Team Proiect Progress
Mr.Clark reported that this has been the smoothest shift he has ever witnessed! The classrooms have settled right
in and everything is running smoothly. Everybody has pitched in to make it work!
Ms. Tringale noted the CHA gave a huge amount of support to the move and oversight of the movers. The
Technology Department got all the smart boards up and running the first day and the kitchen staff worked the
entire vacation week to make sure they were set up and ready to go. Much of the staff also came in during
vacation to get their classrooms ready. It went very well.
Mr. Faris said the impact on the students was minimal. Everything was ready to go Monday morning!
Mr. Capurso shared pictures of the modulars being used with students back in session,the beginning of the
construction and also many areas that have been converted into new space such as the auditorium stage that is
now the wellness center and the library that is now the cafeteria.
Superintendent Clenchy praised all for an excellent job in the move that was relatively seamless. She is very
happy to hear that the students love the modulars!
