DRAGON STRONG: 2024 STUDENT INVESTMENT PLAN-NO TAX INCREASE BOND PROPOSAL

Board will hold a Special Board meeting on April 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. to review bids for the bond projects.

UPDATE 03/11/2025

CWA and Goldsby Construction provided an update to the Purcell Board of Education on March 10, 2025. During this update it was shared that the Junior High FEMA Gym design phase has reached the 95% threshold. This threshold allows for items related to the FEMA project to go out for bid through Goldsby Construction. The bids will go out for four weeks and close on April 16th. A special board meeting will be held on April 25, 2025 to review the bids and accept bids to move the project forward.

The first project to start will be the JH FEMA gym and we will see construction start in the middle of May. We anticipate no disruption to students or teachers in this first phase of construction. Of course as school begins in the Fall of 2025, we will have to work around the schedule of students for certain construction activities.
