DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT New school will cost $42 million By REBECCA BRIA rbria@timesleader.com Members of the Dallas School Board approved bids totaling $37.25 million for the new high school construction project Mon- day evening. The cost of an athletic track, ar- chitect fees and other expenses will bring the final cost of the pro- ject to about $42.75 million. School board members exam- ined project alternates and elim- inated some of them, saving the district almost $785,000. One such alternate was a cour- tyard amphitheater. Five board members were opposed to it, dropping the amphitheater from the project. Superintendent Frank Galicki responded by say- ing the courtyard was a student- driven concept that was well re- ceived by the current student body. Board member Gary Mathers suggested eliminating the con- struction of a new athletic track to save $343,500. Board presi- dent Karen Kyle said adding the track now will cost less because the heavy equipment needed for it will already be on site. Mathers requested a separate resolution for the track from the construction project. The resolu- tion for the track passed with Mathers as the only board mem- ber voting no. Several other alternates de- nied include an enhanced securi- ty system of 50 additional cam- eras, terrazzo floors in corridors, new baseball dugouts and com- mons daylighting controls. Some alternates the board de- cided to keep are a metal detector and X-ray machine, a greenhouse, two air-conditioning chillers and a maintenance building mezza- nine. Last Monday, the board voted 5-4 Monday to table a motion to use a Project Labor Agreement in the high school construction pro- ject. The board approved the ta- ble, which meant the PLA issue had to appear on the agenda of the next board meeting, which was held last night. Because the bidding process was already completed and bids were awarded, board member Russ Bigus, who made the mo- tion last week to use a PLA, made a new motion to rescind the pre- vious motion. The new high school is sched- uled to open for the 2011-12 See DALLAS, Page 6 AM. Pugh Associates sponsors second annual Community Service Essay Contest for area youth A.M.
