School Buildings in Germantown School District need attention

10/16/2015

 If you live in the Germantown School District this might be of interest to you. The school board is looking at different options regards the needs of the physical space and needs in their schools. The bulldings range from 47 to 87 years old.
In addition to the actual buildings, consideration regarding heating and cooling systems in various buildings is on the list.

Some future options for consideration are:

-Demolishing the south wing at County Line Elementary School and replacing it with a seven-classroom addition
-Renovate classrooms into student common and break-out space at Amy Belle School
-MacArthur and Rockfield schools could have added classrooms
-B
uild a new elementary school on school owned land at Kinderberg Park
-Additional attention could be given to middle and high school buildings.

Future sessions include one here in Richfield at Amy Belle School 
6:30-8 p.m. Oct. 28th.  Contact school board members for further information.

I also think the residents in Germantown School District deserve to know they are paying more than they should be on construction manager fees for the project at Rockfield. The firm I worked for this summer submitted a construction manager proposal with our fee at 1%. My old firm had done many projects throughout the district, including the previous addition at Rockfield. The board could have saved taxpayer money on a publicly bid job, but chose not too. We were given the comment that "we were too small to do the job" even though we had done the same type of work at Rockfield and many other schools. Was very disappointed in the school board, especially since I am a GHS alum.
