Next week we are kicking off the detailed planning stage for our capital referendum projects. We anticipate the detailed planning process will last until October. The district will then go out for bids in December/January with official construction starting in the spring of 2024. Construction will then wrap up during the summer of 2025. It is our desire to have Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) to help serve as advisors to the district during the planning and construction phases. Do you have specialized knowledge in the field of construction, HVAC, electrical, interior design, etc.? Or just want to be a part of the referendum process? If so, we would love to have you join this advisory committee! We anticipate the FAC will meet at least monthly (at night), possibly more often, depending on how fast the planning process happens. The FAC will be advisory in nature. If you would like to be a part of the FAC, please send Dr. Scott an email at dscott@pecatonica.k12.wi.us. We look forward to our communities' help during these exciting times! #VikingNation #PecatonicaProud
