    While there is little visible evidence at this point, the school board has started the process with a number of pre-construction activities on the financial and construction aspects of the project. A subcommittee has been appointed to oversee the construction process, consisting of school board members Vicki Gallichio and Todd Wright. Efforts with district contacts for financing, architecture, and construction management have begun. Some meetings have occurred and more have been scheduled. Work is also being done to move through a rigorous permitting process with the county
