Wednesday, August 8, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon PROJECTS: SMS expected to be ready for class in September Continued from page 1 oversight committee mem- ber Jay Wilkins noted that the district has been able to do more work — includ- ing extra painting and sys- tem upgrades — thanks to additional funds that added to the original $10.7 million approved by Sisters voters in 2014. The district caught a “tail- wind” in selling the bonds, earning additional money to the tune of nearly $1 million from favorable market tim- ing. In addition to that, Sisters was awarded $4 million in state grants. In adding scope to the original project, Wilkins said, the district went back to the intent of the bill that provided for the grant funding, try- ing to create “more efficient, better educational facili- ties (with a) longer lifespan. Safety, obviously, became a big emphasis.” With a construction boom underway across the region, demand for tradesmen and materials has been high. Scheduling the trades has been a challenge, Hudson said. “That’s been the toughest part to manage,” he said. While the school is one big construction site now, in the second week of August, the school district expects everything to be ready for class in September. “This time next week, there’ll be a pretty impressive change from what you see today,” Hudson said. “But the race is on… It’s going to be a push — but all of these sum- mer projects are.” 29 PHOTO BY JIM CORNELIUS A new uaint scheme won auuroval from members of a uublic tour. — Serving all of Central Oregon — Sandy Goodsell Principal Broker Jonathan Hicks Broker ABR, CDPE, CIAS, GRI, SRES 541-480-0183 865-335-6104 LICENSED BROKERS IN THE STATE OF OREGON goodsellandhickssellcentralor.com PHOTO BY JIM CORNELIUS A secure, controlled entrance to Sisters Middle School is a major asuect of this summer’s remodeling uroject.
