N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Citizen’s Advisory Committee was first created for the Jamestown Public School’s to gain a better understanding of what the community wanted for the future of the school system.

The committee will continue to review the current status of each school in the district and come up with a recommendation to the school board on how to proceed. Superintendent Robert Lech reports that the committee had toured the districts facilities and shared some takeaways from their school tours.

Lech pointed out that the committee was surprised at how many issues the facilities in the district had and wants to be proactive about preventing unnecessary costs. School Board member Steve Veldkamp stated that DLR had presented tome different school designs to the committee.

Heidi Larson mentioned that everyone on the surface looks fine, but it’s when the committee looked further into the unseen parts of the facility that some issues could be found.

Diane Hanson also took part in the tours. She made reference to the boilers in the schools, some of which were first installed in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The committee reports can be found on the Jamestown Public School’s website. The Citizen Advisory Committee is open to anyone interested in participating and learning more about the status of the facilities in the district.
