Special School Board Meeting- 2-6-26

The Putnam Schools Board held a special meeting on February 6, 2026, primarily focused on the Melrose Elementary School construction project. The board reviewed and approved the Early Release Package 2 (ERP2) for site work and preparation necessary for upcoming trades, following the earlier approval of demolition and abatement work under ERP1. Representatives from Parish McCall and Casper Architects provided updates on project progress, including utility relocations, demolition schedules, asbestos abatement, and traffic pattern changes during construction. The board also approved a third-party plan review service to expedite the plan approval process, aiming to keep the project on schedule and reduce overall costs. Motions to approve both the ERP2 site work package and the third-party plan review were unanimously passed, enabling continued progress on the school construction project.
