Costs lower than expected for District 303 security upgrades
A plan to make St. Charles Unit District 303 school entrances safer is likely to be completed this summer, with the price tag coming in lower than expected. Project bids presented to the business services committee Thursday show security upgrades at 17 facilities would cost the district just more than $750,000, compared to initial projections of $1 million. Construction would begin almost immediately after the June 11 school board meeting if board members approve awarding the contracts, said Seth Chapman, assistant superintendent for business services. "The board is pleased that the administration has had the forethought and discussions and preparation to do this because it's something the community would like to see in their schools," Board President Kathy Hewell said.

The Hopi Tribe was promised nearly 23 square miles of state trust land south of Interstate 40 and east of Flagstaff in a 1996 agreement approved by Congress in a dispute over overlapping boundaries of Hopi and Navajo reservation lands, the Arizona Daily Sun reported last week. Recent efforts on the land transfer by U.S. Sen. John McCain’s office and the state Land Department were stymied by the inclusion of national forest tracts in the Flagstaff area. The tribe has decided to reach out to local governments for support as it looks to finalize the land transfer through condemnation or a land swap without the original list of Flagstaff-area parcels. Tribal Chairman Tim Nuvangyaoma has asked Coconino County Board of Supervisors and Flagstaff City Council to call on Gov. Doug Ducey and the … [Read more...] about Hopi Tribe ask governments for help in land exchange
