Caesar Rodney School
News

The Caesar Rodney Board of
Education has issued summary
of construction costs covering
thirty one-slo-v elementary school
classrooms constructed since 1851
on the Caesar Rodney main cam
pus.
The total overall construction
cost averaged $24,839.60 per class
room for the thirty rooms added
TO the school plant Included in
calculated cost is s22, 2,389.60, the
actual contract price plus $1,250
per room for architectural fees,
81, 200 per room for equipment, and
100000 per room heating plant
cost.
The Caesar Rodney School
Building Commission contracted
for the first-one story primary
grade self-contained classrooms in
1851, with the first eight rooms
having contract price of S22zz,-
$4,000 per room exclusive of fees,
heating plant, or equipment. Prior
TO making this contract the COM
mission has rejected a set of bids
which, if accepted, would have
made the classrooms cost S35, 500
per room. In the subsequent bid
ding more realistic wage scale
was accepted by the State Board
of Education.
The second wing of six rooms
had contract cost of $22,502.00
included individual classroom toll
ct facilities and outside classroom
door.
The last two eight-room wings,
without classroom toilet facilities
or outside classroom doors, cost
$21 ,41S per room exclusive of fees,
equipment, or heating plant costs.
These rooms were put to use in
September 1858 except for some
auxiliary space.
Over the protest of the local
Building Commission. the last 16
elementary school rooms were
made wider and larger than the
first fourteen. These rooms were
skylighted to enable the ceilings
to be kept low and still have ade-
quate daylight on the corridor side
of the rooms.
With the completion of the new
cafeteria, and music and shop ad-
dition, it is expected that any ex-
tensive future expansion on the
present site is unlikely. The COM
pleted facilities are designed to
meet the needs of maximum of
1900 students in grades one
through twelve. The present en-
rollment is 1850.
