A timeline presented to the DeKalb School Board on Tuesday night, outlines how the district can go about making major changes to most of its school facilities…and make the best use of over $21 million in grant monies.

The Finance and Facilities Committee has been working for months to find out what each of the district’s elementary schools need – and to narrow those down to the most crucial projects.  In all, about $11.6 million of the grant would go towards these proposed projects.

These run the gamut from creation of a pre-kindergarten and early childhood education center, to secured entrances to some of the older elementary buildings.

The timeline is meant to give the school board a framework, and was not intended to be a formal proposal; each of the projects would have to be discussed and voted on individually.  Most of them would be done during the 2014-2015 school year.
