||||
| The Collinsville School Board toured three campuses Wednesday July 29, 2015 to see the construction and moving progress first hand ... with every elementary grade except 3rd at a new location this fall. L-R: Wendell Johnson, Memory Ostrander, Steve Stout, Tim Reed, Kevin Morrison, Superintendent Lance West, and Construction Manager Chad Brewer at the Upper Elementary building south entry. | ||||
 |
||||
| New Wilson 6th Grade Center Principal Jennipher Keim greeted the school board on their first stop Wednesday. | ||||

 |
||||
| Lance West took the board members on each of the parent (and bus) loops to explain the changes designed to draw traffic off of 129th E. Ave. The parent path to ECC has been extended with a turn-about added near the baseball fields just past the soccer fields. | ||||
 |
||||
 |
||||
 |
||||
| The upper elementary gym was ready for the first air conditioned volleyball practice this summer the following morning (July 30th) after many practices already at the "warm" middle school gym with the HS gym out of commission since the end of basketball in the spring. | ||||
 |
||||
| Not a major project ... but certainly a good addition at the high school ... a paved path between the two east entrances. There is also a new sidewalk on the south side of the building that will eventually connect to the new parking by the freshman center. | ||||
 |
||||
 |
||||
| Boys and girls locker rooms under the CHS gym bleachers have had extensive work done to fix plumbing and drainage issues as well as rearrange a few walls. | ||||
 |
||||
| This view of the new gym is from the west windows of the old commons. | ||||
