Facilities and operations staff updated the board on a heavy summer schedule of capital projects, classroom modernizations and the high-school addition and said most work is complete but some installations and punch-list items remain.

Leland, the district facilities staff member, said the district replaced ceilings, painted rooms and installed new carpet in many classrooms across the district. At the high school, he said 17 classrooms received new ceilings, carpet and paint and the press box was rebuilt after multiple layers of siding were removed. Leland cautioned that the expansion areas currently lack full camera coverage and some access-control cabling is not yet pulled, which could create security and operational challenges until those systems are finished.

Staff said the high school serving area will be functional "in two weeks" if lunch flow proceeds well; district staff are temporarily using the kitchen and serving food through a hallway into the eating area while some finishing work continues. Leland told the board crews will return on weekends and breaks to complete punch-list items that could not be done while students were on site.

The facilities update included a demonstration of the new poured rubber playground surfacing components and a discussion about unintended consequences: staff and contractors reported groups of students arriving on electric scooters and portable motorized vehicles that can damage the surfacing and pose safety questions. "We're gonna have some issues ... there are miles of pipe everywhere," Leland said when describing installation complexity and later noted the need for signs or enforcement to keep scooters off the new surfaces.

Board members also asked about parking-lot lighting, card reader installations and HVAC balancing; staff said contractors were completing remaining tasks and the district will continue weekly construction meetings to coordinate final work.

No formal board vote was required at the meeting; staff said they will continue to manage punch-list completion and return with status updates as systems like cameras and access control come online.
