The Oldham-Ramona-Rutland School Board is moving forward with its plan to shore up the partially demolished Ramona site despite concern about potential high costs.

At a special meeting on Sept. 19, board members approved a fee evaluation bid of $233,000 from Hausmann Construction, the first step toward a full construction manager at risk contract to bring the Ramona site back to a safe and usable condition, which will be set for approval at a later date.
