Rock Island Center for Math & Science Moving Forward
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Associate Superintendent Mike Oberhaus updated the Board of Education on the progress at the Rock Island Center for Math & Science at the May 26 meeting.
After a two month delay due to the discovery of a previous structure/foundation that wasn’t recorded with the old Villa de Chantal site plans, along with several days of inclement weather conditions, Mr. Oberhaus told the board that the school will be finished in time for its projected opening of April 30, 2010.
Foundation has been poured in the classroom addition as well as the Media Center and administrative office area. The south parking lot area has been graded and is ready for further construction.
