R-I school facility plan is discussed
STEVE HARTMAN/DAILY FORUM
The West Nodaway R-I Board of Education met Wednesday in the school’s media center/library and the discussion centered around approval of CTS Group of St. Louis, Mo. as acting project director for the district’s various improvement projects as well as voting to accept applications for the position of superintendent of schools, replacing current superintendent Nancy Greeley, who resigned last week.
The West Nodaway R-I Board of Education met Wednesday to discuss approval of facility improvement projects and to establish the schedule for accepting applications for the position of superintendent of schools.
The board voted unanimously to accept the CTS Group’s bid to oversee and direct the various facility improvements made possible by the passage of a $1.2 million Proposition 2 no-tax-increase bond issue approved April 7 by district voters.
West Nodaway Supt. Nancy Greeley said that in her opinion, CTS would do a great job of overseeing the various facility improvement projects scheduled for this summer. The work will include installing a new geothermic HVAC system for the elementary school, asbestos flooring removal, the installation of new flooring in bathrooms, classrooms and hallways, and bus barn repairs and maintenance.
“Duke Snider from CTS has met with us every Tuesday morning and will continue to throughout the process, keeping us updated on the progress of the project,” Greeley said. “I feel very confident CTS will be a great partner for the district in overseeing the different components of the overall project.
“I believe they will deliver a completed project on time; before the start of the 2015-16 school year.”
The board also approved taking applications until May 1 for the superintendent’s position, an opening created by Greeley’s resignation last week.
Greeley accepted the position of Region H area supervisor of instruction for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
“By closing the application date on May 1, it should give you list of possible candidates to consider at the regular May board meeting,” Greeley said.
