Funding and schedule issues related to an upcoming construction project primarily centered on fixing first-floor infrastructure at Cactus Valley Elementary School have left Re-2 officials wondering what their best course of action will be moving forward.
The Re-2 school board on Monday learned the district is eligible to receive up to a $2.1 million BEST grant from the Colorado Department of Education to help defray costs for the estimated $5.65 million project, which is set to fix a number of issues caused by slab settlement. Cactus Valley Elementary School, located in Silt, was fully constructed in 2007 for $16.5 million.
