Board members noted their desire to work with a local contractor. "One more note, we are going with a local person. I just want to say again, that it's not through the words that we say, but the actions of what we do, that we prove that we mean it when we say that we want to work with the local people." said board member John Madala. Boudreau noted the top two contractors for the project were based locally.
The new site is located approximately three-quarters of a mile from the current school.
