In addition to the Necessity for School Construction projects the Jamestown School Department has also received approval from the RI Department of Education, RIDE to include 3 more projects related to School Safety and Security upgrades. Two of these projects are also eligible for a 35% reimbursement from the state. Additional school safety and security projects are 1. Safety Bollards, 2. Classroom Enhancements and 3. Security Camera Upgrades.
The School Building Committee will be meeting next week to discuss the school construction timeline for the upcoming projects for the 2019-2020 school year, the process to hire Architectural and Engineering services and the need for an Owner's Project Manager (OPM) to oversee the projects. The OPM is a new requirement from RIDE.
