Board approves $880,000 reallocation from 2021 general obligation bond contingency for Santa Fe High Activity Center site
Summary
The Santa Fe Public Schools board voted to reallocate $880,000 from contingency in the 2021 general obligation bond to demolish the old activity center at Santa Fe High and create parking; board packet showed remaining contingency balance after the move.
The Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education voted April 24 to reallocate $880,000 from contingency in the district's 2021 general obligation bond to fund demolition of the former activities center at Santa Fe High School and replace it with student and sports parking.
Board Member Gose, speaking for the Capital/Replacement Committee (CRC) and the operations department, said the old Commons building had been renovated for ROTC and new classrooms and that the activity center's building systems were "past their useful life." Gose told the board that moving $880,000 from contingency would leave a little under $1,400,000 remaining in contingency across the 2021 bond fund.
A motion to approve the reallocation was made and seconded during the meeting and carried on a voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: The reallocation allows demolition and a parking project to proceed at the high school campus using bond contingency funds rather than seeking new capital appropriations. The board packet included an itemized summary of the 2021 bond reallocations.
Board action: The reallocation motion passed in open session after the CRC presentation. The superintendent and operations staff did not report any additional conditions tied to the reallocation during the vote.
Next steps: The operations department and CRC will proceed with project planning and procurement steps tied to demolition and parking work as described in materials provided to the board packet.
