District staff reported progress on multiple construction projects including a new high school stadium and aquatic center, outlined anticipated substantial-completion dates, and described emergency resurfacing of four public courts so the district could host the state tennis meet.
District staff provided a construction and maintenance update during the August 2025 board meeting, reporting progress on multiple projects and describing two emergency repairs undertaken before the start of school. Dave Bartlett (district capital-construction staff) said site work and a turn lane remain in progress on a new project with substantial completion anticipated in December 2025; interior painting and furniture procurement were under way and playground delivery dates were pending. The aquatic center’s deck and pool piling work is in progress and staff anticipate substantial completion and pool balancing in early November 2025. On the Campbell County High School replacement project, Bartlett said the stadium design was approaching 10% and was scheduled for State Facilities Board review on Sept. 5. The district planned to bid the stadium in November and break ground in February, with the new stadium in use about a year afterward. The building design was expected to conclude the following June with the school building slated for completion in August 2028 and final site work and demo completed in August 2029. Major-maintenance work completed over the summer included kitchen renovations, roof replacement, lighting upgrades, turf and classroom-area renovations, and concourse work at Lakeway Learning Center. The 4G HVAC project was delayed by supply chain issues with condensing units expected to arrive in October. An emergency water-main break at Paintbrush Elementary was repaired so that water service was restored for the first day of school; the district conducted an initial air-quality test that passed and planned two follow-ups in September and October. Separately, the district faced a potential loss of the state tennis tournament because four North courts at Bicentennial Park were unplayable after the South courts had been repurposed. The district authorized and completed emergency resurfacing of the four North courts over a weekend so it could host the multi-day state tournament. The transcript records the construction updates, completion and target dates, supply-chain delays, and the emergency actions; it does not include a recorded vote on these informational items but shows staff answering board questions and the board thanking staff for the work.
