An update on the 2025 bond issue construction project was given at a recent meeting of the Platte County R-3 School Board.
Updated information includes:
Pathfinder Playground: A portion of the new playground at Pathfinder Elementary is already open for student use. The highly anticipated “Pirate Ship” and other specialty equipment are scheduled to arrive in early September, with installation and turf finishing to follow.
Final fence work will be completed once the playground installation wraps up and the playground is estimated to be completed mid-October.
Platte Purchase Site Amenities: Plumbing fixtures have been installed, and crews are wrapping up mechanical, electrical, and plumbing finishes. Additional work this month includes countertops, doors, toilet partitions, and landscaping. A ribbon cutting is planned for Sept. 18, ahead of the first home middle school football game.
Platte County High School Phase 2: Following demolition earlier this summer, Phase 2 construction is underway. The building pad is complete for the fine arts and classroom wing, and footings will begin this month.
Storm structures are being installed, with underground utilities to follow. The bus loop stairs are complete, providing easier access to the parking lot. Brick staining on the Wilson Center is also underway to match the new construction.
