This Ram Country TV board presentation on August 18, 2026, provided an update on the GKO Capital Plan focusing on phase one of elementary school improvements. The discussion centered on construction and renovation projects at several elementary schools, including additions at Brooks, Oaks, and Limmerch Elementary Schools to accommodate full-day kindergarten and fifth grade shifts. The total project cost for this phase is targeted at approximately $69.2 million, covering construction, fees, furniture, and approvals. Site plans and traffic circulation improvements were detailed, especially for Brooks and Oaks, with attention to parking, bus loading, and parent drop-off logistics. The board also discussed safety concerns related to emergency vehicle access at Oaks Elementary and ongoing coordination with local townships and traffic engineers to address these issues. The timeline aims for construction starting in early 2027 and completion by the 2029-2030 school year, with further planning for eighth-grade relocations and potential auditorium additions in future phases.
