Here is an update regarding the expansion plans as we push toward opening our Secondary building fall of 2023.

• Site plans went to the City of Ramsey on March 28. Feedback and concerns that were raised have been resolved.
• The traffic study is complete and the findings are there are no negative impacts on any intersections in the area. There is more than enough capacity to accommodate the additional traffic flow. 
• The Planning Commission will vote at their May 26 meeting and community members are encouraged to attend in support. And then, the City Council meets on June 14 for a vote which is also a place to offer support. 
• The Secondary building footprint may need to be reduced in order to cut costs since interest rates are rising. The Facilities Committee is looking at ways to do so in ways that don’t affect programming. 
• Elementary renovation plans have begun, but the actual construction will not happen until the summer of 2023.
