On June 16 we signed the contract with Brown's Construction, and on June 18 they were cutting the concrete floor to access the plumbing. Nils is trying Twitter and Snap2Twitter to get pictures online. You can follow the #PPSEL hashtag here. Want something more conventional -- here is the Flickr portfolio for the construction. A few snafus with plumbing under the floor seem to be turning up-- the sewer pipe is not big enough. |
 On June 11 the Board took a series of decisions related to the remodel contract and financing the remodel. By the time you read this the contractor may be in the building. (Draft minutes here http://docs.google.com/View?id=ah7p3phkb2sr_11prprtcdz)
To accomplish our goal, we needed to arrange financing for part of the costs (even for the bare bones project). Now the Board will turn its attention to how to manage that financing to ensure that our school remains fiscally sustainable. Here is a preliminary outline of actions that likely will be taken. You can help with some elements:
- Increased enrollment in this year (2009-10)
- Donations and fund raising from families and others. Donations might be in the form of things that offset spending rather than cash.
- Practice fiscally cautious operations to conserve resources.
- Refunds from Avista for energy improvements we are making to the building.
- Application for Real Estate Tax exempt status for 2010 which will save taxes built into the current budget.
- Successful operations and PR during the first school year to increase recruitment for the following school year.
