Dear Wickliffe Community,
At the January 9, 2020 Board

Since that date, the Wickliffe Schools Facility Leadership Team has been
working with TDA on a timeline for the project. We have completed the plan
tentative timeline, and I am sharing it with you. Please note that while we
have every intention to meet this timeline, we are aware that sometimes
circumstances arise that are unforeseen and may have impact on the timeline. If
any circumstances arise, we will keep you abreast of any changes. If you have
questions, please contact me directly.
