Judson reports new schools open; courtyard, fields, gym ACs and playgrounds scheduled for completion in coming weeks

District construction staff reported that two new Judson ISD schools recently opened with certificates of occupancy and that punch-list work, landscaping and site finishes remain.
Facilities manager Mister Brooks told trustees both schools have certificates of occupancy and that furniture distribution is underway. At Selma Elementary, Brooks said contractor work on door hardware and courtyard landscaping remains; the courtyard finish was slated for mid-September. At Cibolo Creek, staff said fields have sod laid and require roughly 90 days before field certifications; administrators said that puts field readiness around October.
Trustees asked about playgrounds and gym air-conditioning. The project manager said playground installations are targeted to be finished in September and that gym AC units are mostly set with a September target to get them turned on. Trustees praised staff and volunteers for campus move-in efforts and asked staff to provide follow-up timelines to parents and principals.
Trustee Macias said he had received neighborhood calls about potholes and other area road issues around new developments; facilities staff said they had met with HOA representatives and were developing a plan.
No formal board action was required; trustees accepted the construction report and asked staff to return with any outstanding timelines or updates as needed.
