The Mancos School Board and administrators listen as owner\u2019s rep Monty Guiles gives a construction update on May 21.<\/span>Emily Rice\/The Journal<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

The Mancos School District Re-6 board on Monday discussed upcoming school construction.<\/p>\n

The district planned a groundbreaking ceremony for May 24 at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Owners representative Monty Guiles reported that the construction crew has offered summer jobs to Mancos High School students Jake McKie and Hunter Hoover.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Brian Hanson reported that he has received questions about whether trees will be lost to construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a tree can be saved, OK, but it is not going to be designed around a specific tree,\u201d Hanson said. \u201cI do anticipate the trees on the western border will be spared as a buffer between us and the other house, but I also know in our landscape design there are a lot of trees that are going to be planted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The board also discussed and approved the preliminary budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

District business manager Chrissie Miller said she would have the final budget ready for approval at the June board meeting.<\/p>\n

Board Treasurer Tim Hunter said the preliminary budget is $30.6 million. Also according to Hunter, the numbers break down as follows: the general fund is 6.59 million; the preschool fund, $242,048; the food service fund, $284,346; the bond redemption fund, $345,664; the building fund, $22.74 million; the capital reserve projects, $203,520; and the pupil activity fund, $187,961.<\/p>\n

The preliminary budget was approved in a 4-0 vote. Board member Ed Whritner was absent.<\/p>\n

Secondary Principal Adam Priestly reported that the 2018 senior class has received $550,000 in scholarships.<\/p>\n
