ELY – A public bid opening last Thursday for the first phase of a multi-year building and facility renovation project for the Ely school district gave construction managers and district officials an idea of the real-world cost expectations, estimated to cost about $20 million.
Project construction manager Kraus-Anderson Construction Co. hosted the bid opening in the Washington School auditorium. Just a couple of contractors, a representative from Architectural Resources, Inc., two ISD 696 staff members, a school board member, and a member of the local media witnessed the arduous task of opening and tabulating the sealed bids on more than 30 work scopes.

ELY - Ely school district administrators late Wednesday extended distance learning for all students in grades 6-12 until Monday, April 12.
‘We expected to have the Memorial students return on Tuesday, April 6, dependent on evidence that the spread of COVID-19 in our school community had subsided,” said ISD 696 Superintendent Erik Erie. “This decision was made to help stem the spread of COVID-19 that is still with us.”
Ely students in grades K-12 remain in distance learning until at least Monday, April 12.
Another case reported on Wednesday, after the Timberjay’s print edition deadline, increased the number of reported COVID-19 cases to 28 in the schools between March 15 and March 31.

ELY – The construction timeline for the ISD 696 building project calls for the Industrial Arts building to be emptied of the preschool, tech students, learning materials and machinery within a matter of weeks.
Superintendent Erik Erie told school board members Monday night that recent meetings and walk-through tours with the project architects and construction managers revealed the challenges ahead for school administrators.
