"It's pretty scary, if you look around, to think we'll be ready to open in a few weeks," said Ed Eusebio, senior director of school facilities for the Dixon Unified School District."It's amazing what can happen in one day."
Although the high school grounds behind Hall Park and the May Fair grounds are still dusty because of construction, all the classrooms are finished and waiting for furniture, according to Eusebio.
"We're getting brand new furniture for everything," he said.

"In construction we always like to be ahead and not behind," said Eusebio, adding that the four months of rain in 2006 really put the project behind.
"We tried to recover some of the time.The most difficult parts are pretty much complete."
Construction of the cafeteria, Eusebio said, is really coming down to the wire, but he said not to worry.
"Not having the cafeteria ready won't prevent us from opening on time," he said.
...
"There is a lot of space for the kids to grow," Eusebio added.
The school campus sits on 80 acres donated to the district, 50 acres for buildings and athletic fields and 30 acres for the school's farm.
