American Constructors will serve as the construction manager at risk on the project, according to
LISD documents. The $8.33 million covers concrete and steel work for the project as well as utilities and other items, according to the district.

Larkspur subdivision. Students currently zoned for Plain Elementary in the Summerlyn, Larkspur, Grayson and Orchard Ridge neighborhoods
are zoned to attend the new school, which is set to open in 2019.
