B.
Preschool Director's Update
Universal Preschool accepted.
Buell Grant due in February
Colorado Shines in February
Shelley is looking into buying a used vehicle for the preschool.
C.
School Expansion Update
Stick built vs. modular.
Stick built estimate between 3.5 and 5 million. Best grant would cover 32%.
We have 3 bids for a modular. One is in Colorado, and it is 20 years old.
A 6-classroom modular would cost $640,000.
Non-profit loans? Lease? If we lease, the Best grant would not be an option.
Maybe modular for now, then a stick built later.
The expansion committee will present options to the Board at the February Board meeting.
