Agenda Item Summary:
The Mount Vernon Community School (MVCS) playground project is finally nearing completion after more than a year. The protracted process to complete a modernization of the MVCS playground was a challenge in many aspects and resulted from multiple, and at times, overlapping and conflicting issues including project and design management-related, community involvement-related, acts of nature, and unforeseen conditions.  
Background:
The MVCS playground project was jointly conceived and planned in 2017with close parent and community-group partners who raised and contributed over $100,000. The design procurement, construction procurement and city permit process took place during early 2018 and the modernization activity mobilized in August 2018.  
Recommendation
The Superintendent recommends the School Board review the summary for the Mount Vernon Playground Project.
