MACCRAY Elementary Facilities Update

GOAL:

Inform the public of the costs of updating/replacing the existing elementary facilities at MACCRAY.


History of MACCRAY

School districts of Clara City, Maynard, and Raymond consolidated in 1989.

Previously the three districts had cooperated in a number of different academic and athletic programs.


History of MACCRAY Facilities

In 1989, MACCRAY had four buildings: K-6 elementary in Maynard, K-6 elementary in Raymond, 7-8 middle school in Clara City and 9-12 high school in Clara City.

In 1993-94 a 2-phase facilities update was done, costing $6.5 million. Each elementary school demolished the old 3 story wooden wing of the building and the HS wings were remodeled into elementary classrooms. The HS added a wing of additional classrooms. The JH was made handicapped accessible.


History of MACCRAY Facilities (cont.)

In 2000 an energy update was done to the HS, East, and West Elementary for $2.5 million. This consisted of updating windows, doors, lights, and some mechanical upgrades.

During the summer of 2013 a major mechanical, electrical, and systems updates is being done to the HS. for $7.6 million.


Enrollment History (Pre-K through 12th grade)

In 1989 MACCRAY had an enrollment of 1,023 students.

The Board realizes that the while the elementary schools are structurally sound they are in need of major mechanical, plumbing, interior, and outdated space.
