School officials will wait until next month’s regular meeting before reporting further on cost overruns on the new school. Pictured is rebar and the foundations laid for auditorium.

In the latest update at a Facilities Committee meeting this report: Several reasons have contributed to the cost overruns including a “creeping” scope of work, a lower unit rate than the initial project, and market conditions. A final budget will be provided at the November 21 regular board of education meeting.
