Measure P tranche launched; district finishes roofs, schedules HVAC upgrades and district office modernization
Summary
After issuing tranche 1 of Measure P funds, the district completed roofing projects at three schools, received CalSHAPE HVAC assessments and plans major HVAC, MUR modernizations and a district office move beginning Oct. 3, 2025.
Belmont Redwood Shores School District staff told trustees on Sept. 11 that tranche 1 of Measure P (approved by voters in November 2024) has been issued and work begun on several facilities projects. Chief Business Official Reese Matsumoto said the district issued tranche 1 for an initial set of projects and that roofing work at Cipriani, Nesbitt and Sandpiper was finished in summer 2025.
Matsumoto described a CalSHAPE‑funded HVAC assessment that identified individual units with damaged belts, electrical or operation issues and several units approaching end of life; the district said it will prioritize the most‑needy systems for replacement or repair in summer 2026 and hopes to complete as much of the HVAC program as possible that summer. Matsumoto told the board that the district intends to sequence work to minimize disruption and that DSA (Department of State Architecture) approvals and lead times are part of scheduling.
The board also heard that the district office will temporarily relocate to 1075 Old County Road while a modernization begins; staff estimated a roughly one‑year construction period. Other planned projects mentioned for 2026–27 include multipurpose room (MUR) modernizations, athletic field work at Ralston (and potentially Nesbitt) and parking/drop‑off improvements at Cipriani and Central.
Why it matters: trustees said the facilities work is intended to improve safety, air quality and learning spaces. Trustees and staff agreed to seek community input on MUR designs and other site plans before work proceeds.
Ending: Matsumoto and Superintendent Deguara said the district is working to accelerate high‑priority items where feasible and acknowledged long lead times for DSA review and construction scheduling.
