District business staff told the board that the Rogers Elementary School groundbreaking took place on Wednesday, Aug. 13, and that construction is underway. The presenter said the project is "in full swing" and is slated to finish in December 2026, about 18 months from the time of the report.

Trustee Burris said she attended the groundbreaking and described the event as positive, saying she is "excited for Rogers to have their new building coming soon." Board members asked for periodic updates; staff said they will keep the board and cabinet informed throughout the process.

No votes or formal actions were taken during the report; the item was presented as an informational update. The district also reported other facilities work is ongoing, including completion of the Mitchell playground, which staff said finished on schedule to avoid adding to morning drop-off congestion.

Next steps: staff will provide periodic construction updates to the board during the project timeline and notify the board of any schedule changes or impacts to campus operations.
