Sep 15, 2026

Operations staff updated the board on the facility master project list: playground and bleacher work completed, Carthage Elementary planning advanced with a proposed 70‑foot land gift and anticipated contractor bidding with ground‑breaking after the school year, and numerous summer maintenance projects (canopies, HVAC units, fencing, LED lighting, lift/pump stations) were completed or in progress.

The full story

Operations staff described progress on the district's master facilities list, noting several life‑cycle maintenance projects (roofs, HVACs, LED lighting) done over the summer to maintain older campuses. Carthage Elementary is under active planning: staff reported a proposed gift of about 70 feet of land that could accommodate a new footprint, geo‑technical work completed, and a bid process to follow with construction scheduled to start after students leave for summer to avoid disruptions.
