District staff reported progress on multiple capital projects and presented several action items for board approval, including time-and-material task orders and a pre-GMP for a STEM Academy cafeteria renovation.

Project updates included renovation and furniture timelines for Edwins media center and the prior cafeteria, Salto lock security pilot at Niso High School, restroom and concession building punch lists at Lewis, gym and bleacher work at Meggs and Destin Middle School roof and vertical construction at the new Pine View K–8, Destin Elementary and Baker School projects. Staff reported Pine View would be ready in roughly one year and noted progress on chilled-water piping at Niceville High School.

Nut graf: The construction program covers a broad set of district priorities — new school construction, HVAC and roofing, site safety upgrades and ADA restroom work — and several items required board action to proceed on schedules timed to school calendars.

Action items approved by the board included: a time-and-materials task order for district sidewalk and parking lot striping (motion carried 5–0), and a pre-GMP for the STEM Academy cafeteria renovation (motion carried 5–0). Staff also summarized upcoming Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) submittals for Ruckle, Plew and other projects and said some roofing and restroom projects would come back to the board in September.

Ending: Board members asked questions and praised staff for on‑time work; staff noted a September workshop to brief the board on major projects.
