The Pine Bluff School District Board meeting on June 23, 2025, highlighted significant progress on various construction projects, particularly the new high school and track facilities.
During the meeting, updates were provided on the ongoing construction efforts. The track has been successfully removed, and quotes for new lighting for the track field are currently being obtained. Sean, a representative involved in the construction, reported that major milestones have been reached, including the pouring of concrete slabs for all buildings by the end of June. This marks a year since the construction began, celebrated with a cookout for subcontractors who have contributed to the project.
The auditorium is taking shape, with most of the steel framework completed and roofing expected to commence soon. The construction of the cafeteria is also progressing, with the roof nearing completion. The second floor of the building is being developed, with walls and decking being installed.
The board expressed appreciation for the community's support and the hard work of all involved in the construction process. The goal is to have all buildings completed and ready for use by September, ensuring that the new facilities will be available for students in the upcoming school year.
Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing educational infrastructure and providing a modern learning environment for students.
