This will help Hawthorne School actualize agreed-upon goals to help teachers perfect their craft. This is the same program that we were able to launch at Horace Mann in fall of 2017 utilizing Title 1 funds. We are able to extend it to Hawthorne this year.

| On May 8, 2018, the Board approved the plan to move forward with the Phase 4 Site Work Project of the Measure E Modernization at Horace Mann School.
All projects under the jurisdiction of the Division of the State Architect (DSA) are required to have a certified Inspector of Record (IOR) on site full time throughout the entire construction period. These Inspectors report to the Architect of Record and DSA but are contracted by the District.
On March 1, 2016, submittals were received from 11 professional service firms that provide IOR services. After a thorough review, three (3) firms were selected as the best qualified for these services based on a pre-set scoring system. The firms selected were Knowland Construction Services, HBI Inspection Services, and Independent Construction.
It was requested by the District that IOR David Cass of Knowland Inspection Services, who is currently recognized as the IOR on the project, continue to serve as the Inspector of Record for the Horace Mann Phase 4 Site Work Project.
|
| |
| The cost of these services are to be paid for with previously budgeted funds for the Measure E Bond Program. |
