District 1 board looks forward
to tour of new 6-12 school
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
The Rocky Mountain
6-12 School went up fast
last spring and is now be-
ing completed, hidden from
spectators as contractors
work on the interior de-
tails.
Members of the District
One board will take a tour
of the facility on Thurs-
day, April 8, at 6 p.m., with
an executive session at 7
p.m. followed by the regu-
lar April board meeting at
8 p.m. They scheduled the
tour at the March board
meeting Thursday, March
11, in Cowley.
Facilities Director Mi-
chael Simmons reported to
the board about the prog-
ress of the 6-12 project at
Thursday's meeting. The
interior continues to look
more and more complete:
Simmons said, as addition-
al case work is installed,
walls are painted, floors are
polished, window and door
frames are installed and
tile is set.
He said electricians
and mechanical operators
continue to rough in, set
art sinks, insulate pipe,
set dust filter piping, in-
stall classroom returns, fit
equipment in the main me-
chanical room, prepare for
permanent power and in-
stall permanent lighting
fixtures. EB Berger recent-
ly arrived on the site to be-
gin the application of resin-
ous flooring, Simmons said.
The 6-12 project has in-
cluded six change orders,
increasing the cost by a to-
tal of $77,598. Changes in-
clude replacing the remain-
der of the aged clay tile
drain beneath the future
parking lot, revising the ir-
rigation system at athletic
fields, changes in flooring,
and changes in door hard-
ware to keypad operation.
Groathouse Construc-
tion has also utilized their
allowance of $186,013
worth of design develop-
ment or project enhance-
ments, Simmons said.
The total changes in
both categories equal less
than 1.3 percent of the orig-
inal contract value, Sim-
mons said.
Simmons said asbestos
abatement has been fin-
ished up at the former Big
Horn Academy, which will
become the new district ad-
ministration offices. The
district is awaiting approv-
al of the abatement.
The board spent time
talking about leadership
governance training that
they are currently going
through. They discussed
the district mission and ex-
pectations, which are still
in draft form. They plan
to have the documents fi-
nalized by the April board
meeting, Hocker said.
The three board ex-
pectations focus on profi-
cient reading in grades 3-8,
eighth-grade students be-
ing offered a chance to pass
algebra and ACT scores,
Hocker said.

board:

Bear, lion and wolf seminars in Clark, Powell
Would you know what
to do if you suddenly en-
countered a wolf or grizzly
bear while hiking, if a black
bear entered your camp loo-
king for food, or if you were
surprised by a mountain
lion in your back yard?
If you're not sure how
to react in these situa-
tions, plan to attend one
of two Game and Fish De-
partment's "Staying Safe
in Bear, Lion and Wolf
Country" seminars being
offered this spring. The
first seminar will be held
in Clark, March 23 at the
Clark Community Hall. The
seminar begins at 6:30 p.m.
The second seminar will be
held in Powell, March 24 at
Fagerberg Hall, NWC cam-
pus from 7-9 p.m.
The purpose of the-
se seminars is to increase
awareness and understan-
ding of bears, mountain
lions, and wolves by provi-
ding participants with in-
formation and tools they
can use to prevent conflicts
and avoid dangerous en-
counters.
Presentations will fea-
ture behavior and biology,
life history, population sta-
tus and movements, proper
food storage, safety and le-
gal issues, what to do in an
encounter situation and the
most current information
on the use of bear spray.
Each seminar is free
and open to people of all
ages and skill levels. For
more information call your
local Game and Fish office.
