Casey School Design Advisory Team
The Casey School Development Advisory Team continues to meet. Discussions on November
12~` focused JVA Engineering's report for the school district which found that to due structural
conditions, rehabilitating the school would be "cost prohibitive". The November 26`h meeting
discussions centered on analyzing three options rehabilitation of 1924 portion of school,
preservation of west and south walls of 1924 portion of building with new building behind
(BVSD's preferred option), and complete demolition and construction of a new school. Some
members of the DAT requested cost estimates for each of the options. Cost estimates reviewed
and a recommendation by the DAT is to be made at a subsequent meeting.
