Bill Draa will be soon leaving the Ripon Unified School District.He came in as the interim superintendent and had a strong background in school construction and modernization projects during his time at the Banta School District.It wasn’t long before Draa, who was the retired superintendent at Banta, agreed to a two-year contract at RUSD to help oversee the work at Weston Elementary School. Louise Johnson had stepped down for family reasons from the top administrative post during planning stages of the voter-approved $25.2 million Measure G.Weston is all but complete and Colony Oak Elementary School, which makes up the other half of the bond measure, is now in the planning stages.Draa is again retiring at the end of August. But Siegrid “Ziggy” Robeson is now the RUSD superintendent.She’s the former principal at Colony Oak.The district, meanwhile, received input on this estimated $10.5 million project – included here is construction costs, soft costs, allowances and contingencies – for renovation to her former school.RUSD is looking to have the specific design work in place by this month, with hopes of beginning construction at Colony Oak by late 2016.Work on this estimated 22,000 square feet of new construction would include permanent classrooms.
