Bond Advisory Committee, Architect, and Project Management Selections

At the August Gervais School Board meeting, the Gervais School District introduced the names of members on its newly formed Bond Advisory Committee (BAC). The BAC will oversee projects funded by the general obligation bond approved in May 2024, as well as additional funds such as the $6 million OCSIM grant. The Committee includes members from across the community, representing a variety of backgrounds, including business, construction, education, and public service. The members are Afanasy Burkoff, Claire Chang, John Frost, Melanie Saalfeld, Denise Teixeira, Courtnie Young, and Bob Zielinski. This summer, the R&C Management Group was selected to manage the bond projects, ensuring effective planning and execution. More recently, the district also selected Arcadias Architects to lead the design of these projects, with Rebecca Stuecker serving as the project lead.

These partnerships represent significant steps forward in fulfilling the district's long-term vision for upgraded and safe learning environments.
