Silas Willard Now On Track To Open August 2016

silas construction 2Contractors working on Silas Willard Elementary School have set an open date for August of 2016.

Russell Construction Project Manager Lee Marbach  says initially they were shooting for mid year.

Marbach told the District 205 Board of Education last night that the date was pushed back because they did not want to disrupt teachers and students during the school year.

Project Executive Steve Baughman says that the walls up now are going to be the entry corridor.

The classroom structure is set to begin construction in the next three to four weeks.

Other construction updates discussed at the meeting were for Galesburg High School.

Plans to modernize the entrance with new glass and a secure entrance was brought up, as well as the removal of asbestus tiles.

Towards the end of the meeting, Board Committees were filled, with Board Members Amy Pickrel and Jean Ann Glasnovich selected for the newly formed Curriculum Committee.

The two board members will get together with administrators and teachers to discuss the guidelines for the new committee.
