PIEDMONT, S.D. (AP) _ The new school in the western South Dakota
town of Piedmont will cost about 20 percent less than the original
estimate.
The Meade School Board has approved bids totaling $11.6 million,
down from the original estimate of $14.2 million.
Officials say alternates for paving, air conditioning and food
service contributed to the lower cost. Four classrooms in the
original plans also were scrapped.
The new building will accommodate 624 students in kindergarten
through fifth grade. Construction should be complete at the end of
July.
