Latest BCP News ~ September 2
As you can imagine we are being inundated with phone calls and emails, so we feel a need to respond to many of the rumors that are being shared that are not accurate. First and foremost, we are still diligently working with three locations in order to make a quick relocation possible. As you have heard already, there is a permit process that is necessary in the relocation process in many instances.
Thank you for all of your ideas. The following locations are not possibilities for a variety of reasons: Rolling Hills, Southlake Foursquare, Willamette Christian (old and new buildings), West End Building – L.O., Pacific Lumber building, the old Natures warehouse, Church of the Resurrection, Christ Church Episcopal, Riverwest, The Stafford Retirement Center, Marylhurst Campus, Frog Pond Chapel, United Church of Christ Wilsonville, Wilsonville United Methodist Church, elementary schools of West Linn and Lake Oswego.
The locations we are looking at are all within a 5 – 6 mile radius of our preschool. All are pending CCD certification, fire and sanitation inspections. These inspections cannot take place until we receive approval from the deciding members at each location as to whether or not they approve our use of their building. Please know we are not keeping secrets from you. As per each location’s request, we are unable to share names of locations until we have final approval. Here is a more specific look at where we are with each location:
Location 1 – Church approval and financial agreement are pending (this is the location that we referred to last Thursday night as the one we might have a decision as early as last Tuesday, but have not)
Location 2 – Church approval and pending certifications as referenced above
Location 3 – Final Board approval and Conditional Use clarification
As stated previously by Pastor Shane at last Thursday night’s meeting, the church is in the process of collecting bids from contractors. Since that meeting, preliminary drawings were received Friday and distributed to a number of contractors who are currently assembling bids. Once final plans are available and a contractor is chosen, then the building permit process begins. None of us know how long this will take. We have been encouraged that it may only take two weeks. It still remains our HOPE to only be relocated for a couple of months (pending construction). We are still unable to project a school start date at a new location or a delayed start at BCP.
Please know, we understand the inconvenience and the great difficulty you may be having to make decisions/choices regarding this situation. We also understand that some of you must make other arrangements for your child(ren).
We are in talks with Club Sport about the possibility of some “Custom Camps” that would be available for BCP children who are 3 and above and potty trained, for two weeks during the interim (tentatively September 21 through October 2). Please let us know via email if you would be interested in these camps.
