Construction is under way while school is in session; some seventh-grade classes have been moved to portable classrooms on the northeast side of the school.

"It seems to be going just fine. ... I think the kids kind of like it," principal Todd Bissell said.

School board members, who toured the building during their study session meeting at the school, seemed excited, especially Dori Van Lone, who lives in Erie.

"Awesome, unbelievable," Van Lone said as she looked around the art room that is going in where the wrestling room used to be.

A music room and new classrooms are being built on the south side of the school, while an auditorium will be added on the west side.

On the east side, south of the main entrance, new eighth-grade classrooms are under construction.
