HERALD DEMOCRAT
Sherman Independent School Districts Board of Trustees will discuss the guaranteed maximum price for the district's transportation facility on Loy Lake Road when it meets at 7 p.m. Monday at Sherman High School's Little Theater, 220 E. Lamar.
Information in the agenda packet said that Plyler Construction has obtained pricing for the complete building of the structure which will house the district's transportation shop and grounds equipment. The recommended price for the metal building for the transportation and grounds project is $1,181,728 and the amended, guaranteed maximum price for the entire District Service Center Project is $11,289,458.
In addition, the group will hear an update on the plans for summer school for the coming school break and a discussion about the approval of textbooks in the Spring. Texas school districts have to approve the books that will be used in 2011 for Kindergarten through 12th grades.
Additionally, Trustees will consider approval of the telephone and computer network equipment for the New Education Service Center and the network wiring for that same building.

Wait!
Itsa Freakin Bus Barn!
Visit Sherman and tour our 1.2 million dollar bus barn?
If you fence the parking lot to the east side of the current bus yard and park the surplus buses on that lot you could use the current facilities without overflow. The lot will be empty because all of the admin will be in the posh new digs on Loy. The bus drivers can park their cars in the other small lot on the north side of King street.
AND SAVE SAVE SAVE...
I would bet that the neighbors on Loy are tickled to see a giant 1.2 million dollar, pre-fab, metal lean-to. Why don't we just put the 1.2 million in the bank and then use the interest to "rent" an old garage like out at the old Sher-Den Mall location, or maybe even one of the closed car dealerships? At 3 percent we could pay over 33,000 dollars per year in rent or a long term lease.
This is a buyer's market and will be for the foreseeable future. Put the money in the bank, draw interest, and wait out the current owners for a great deal. Privacy fence on King anyone?
Mama Mia that'sa mighty big-a bus barn!
