Members of the CAM School District’s Board of Education, Monday, approved a change order for the new multipurpose building to be constructed this Summer north of the CAM North Elementary School. Superintendent Steve Pelzer told KJAN News the change makes the building a little bit wider and changes the slope of the roof.  It also adds $20,000 to price of the original bid of $584,800, from Jensen Builders, of Ames. When complete, the building will house a gym with storage areas, restrooms, drinking fountain and music room. The building is expected to be finished by mid-to late-August.

The Board also discussed, but took no action on, replacing the football scoreboard with an LED-type board. Pelzer says the Board will likely approve replacing the current scoreboard with a new one, because it’s cheaper to replace it than to retrofit the current scoreboard with LED lights. He says they are also looking into the purchase of Play Clocks for the end zone, but no decision was made on that, either.
