What is at stake.
Voters approved the bond on a published list of schools and opening years. Cost escalation and long-lead electrical gear threatened to push two schools past their first day, which would mean a full year of delay. The district needed to know early which schools were at risk and what it would cost to protect them.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Program master schedule
All eleven schools sit in one program IMS, with each school's first day of classes as a hard milestone.
Cost-loaded tracking
Each school carries a cost-loaded schedule, so the board sees earned value and escalation exposure by school.
Long-lead buying
Switchgear and rooftop units for several schools were bought as one package, tracked by logic to each school's energization date.
Public reporting
Quarterly reports to the bond oversight committee show status in plain language and charts anyone can read.
Where it stands.
A school that misses August opens a year late. That is why every school has its own float to the first day.
