Truckee Elementary School teachers, students, and members of the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District gathered in front of the elementary school Wednesday afternoon with golden shovels in hand to celebrate the start of construction on the school. That turning of dirt also marked the final phase in a series of renovation projects throughout the entire school district. The projects, made possible by the passing of Measure U and E in 2014, consisted of remodeling Truckee area and Lakeside area schools.
