The LBSD Board of Trustees unanimously accepted the bid proposed by Orocon Construction, a gulf coast company in Biloxi to build the new high school and complete all renovations. The board authorized the district Superintendent to execute a signed contract between Orocon and the LBSD which was signed on June 19, 2019. The contract included the “right to proceed” which means construction will begin very shortly.  General timeline: Orocon will begin asap to mobilize and will begin the removal of asbestos on July 1 with demolition set for July 8th.  Updates will be provided as milestones are met throughout the construction phases.  Completion of the academic complex is still scheduled for August 2020
