At the Sept. 9 meeting the School Town of Speedway received a multi-site construction update from Mister Roseborough and engineer Woody Holm. Roseborough said the new stadium and related project work are nearly complete and being used for events while final punch-list items remain, including replacement signage and some security hardware.

The maintenance building near the library has had electrical work finished and is awaiting final inspection and a certificate of occupancy before staff move equipment into the new space, Roseborough said. He reported the junior high gym floor was fully replaced down to the slab and was usable for physical education and a scheduled junior high volleyball event the following day; a handful of punch-list items remain.

On larger renovation work, Roseborough described ongoing work on the building referred to as “Lyndhurst” (prefab walls up; roof trusses going in) and said contractors expect temporary heat in that building by Oct. 31 to allow winter work to continue. He said underground site and utility work for that project is complete.

Engineer Woody Holm summarized plans for Allison Elementary’s HVAC renovation: contract documents were roughly 95% complete and the district planned to advertise for bids the week after the meeting, with a roughly month-long bid period and an Oct. 10 bid opening. Holm said Allison’s system dates to the 1955–56 build and will be substantially modernized so each classroom will receive measured fresh air. He described a tight schedule to complete major work during the 2026 summer construction window.

Roseborough said smaller but necessary mechanical work (boiler repairs, valves, pumps, motors) has been wrapped into current projects to avoid separate bidding. Trustees asked questions and were told long-lead items would be ordered after the bid opening to meet the project timeline. The board took no separate vote on the update; future bids and contracts will return to the board for approval.
