Why it matters
The contracting method chosen for a school replacement affects how the project is priced, scheduled, and managed. This resolution is an early formal step in the Westgate Elementary replacement project, which uses district resources, so the board's decision is relevant to households in the district. (Analysis: the agenda establishes the action item itself, not project cost figures.)
