School Board approves $53K bid for Hubbard Annex bathroom renovations

The Kuna School District Board of Trustees made significant strides during their regular meeting on July 8, 2025, approving key funding for essential school improvements. The board unanimously approved a construction bid of $53,775 for renovations to the Hubbard Annex bathroom, which is crucial for accommodating the needs of students. This upgrade aims to enhance facilities for younger students, ensuring a more comfortable and functional environment.

In addition to the bathroom renovations, the board also discussed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Diode, which will provide $2.3 million over ten years for various district needs. This funding is particularly noteworthy as it comes without restrictions, allowing the district to allocate resources where they are most needed. The first payment of $100,000 is set to be made soon, followed by larger annual payments.

Another highlight of the meeting was the approval of a new score table for Kuna High School, with a preferred bid of $24,637.75. The current score table has been problematic, requiring frequent repairs and maintenance. The new table will improve the functionality of the gym, enhancing the experience for both athletes and spectators.

These decisions reflect the board's commitment to improving school facilities and ensuring that students have access to quality resources. As the district moves forward with these projects, the community can expect enhanced educational environments that support student success.
