Since the building measures slightly over Dolores\u2019s height restriction of 35 feet, the Dolores Town Council will vote on whether to approve the building\u2019s height.<\/p>\n<p>Prinster also discussed the project budget and flood mitigation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Cheri Walker then presented ICAP as a plan that allows students to gain more ownership of their education. The district is working to implement the program.<\/p>\n<p>According to Walker, districts that use ICAP systems see higher attendance rates and GPAs and make students more college- and career-ready by graduation. With ICAP, students can explore potential career and postsecondary options while receiving help to reach their goals through specific course selection and other support.<\/p>\n<p>In discussion items, the board talked about the budget, a flood mitigation grant and a possible track and field as part of the building project\u2019s master plan phase 1B.<\/p>\n<p>The potential track and field was a notable topic, with the board discussing the budget and potential prices. An eight-lane track with a turf field could cost about $1.8 million. The board agreed they needed to decide how to move to the next phase of discussion for the track and field and find more examples of potential costs.<\/p>\n<p>In action items, the board approved a Lego Robotics donation of $475 and ended with an executive session to discuss the superintendent\u2019s evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>The next Dolores school board meeting is Monday, Feb. 9, at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dolores school board received an update on the district\u2019s building project and heard about the implementation of ICAP during their meeting Monday night.
