Construction update: Pleasant Valley high‑school additions remain on track; bus loop and admin addition near next milestones

District construction staff gave a progress report on the high‑school renovation and additions, summarizing interior fit‑outs, mechanical/electrical/plumbing rough‑ins, exterior site work and an updated schedule for forthcoming steel and slab work.

Staff said crews completed many interior finish items over the summer (band, chorus, library, classrooms) and are working upstairs on ductwork and electrical rough‑ins that will support future HVAC. Photos shown to the board highlighted completed slabs, new admin‑suite subgrade prep, cafeteria and mechanical addition work, and site improvements such as a new bus loop, additional parking and lighting. Steel for the admin addition was scheduled for delivery the week after the meeting; staff expected curbing and paving in some site areas within about two weeks, subject to weather.

Construction leadership said long‑lead items are tracking on schedule and that the general contractor and subcontractors are actively staging materials in a large onsite area. A near‑term milestone is enclosing the additions before winter so interior finishes can proceed; staff reported preparation for the next phase of classrooms and planned transitions around the Christmas timeframe. Punch‑list and closeout work on completed phases continues. Staff warned that schedule adherence will require coordination from the whole district to avoid unnecessary interruptions during the multi‑phase project.

Board members asked about supply and price stability; staff said prices remained stable and deliveries were arriving as scheduled. The report did not request immediate board action; staff will continue monthly updates and said they expect notable photos and progress at the next update.
