Summary
District capital-outlay staff told the board on May 15 that interior work and athletic facilities at the new Cherokee High School are progressing on schedule and within budget; Freehomes Elementary furniture installation is complete and Sequoia High School proposals will be presented to the board.
District capital‑improvements staff told the board on May 15 that interior work at the Cherokee High School replacement is progressing and that athletic‑facility work, including bleacher installation, is underway. “That project is currently on schedule and within budget,” a district capital‑improvements presenter said.
The presenter reported that Freehomes Elementary (reported in the record as “Free Home” / “Freehomes Elementary School”) has completed furniture installation and that the new gym will support local youth activities. He noted the community will benefit from a full gym at the site.
Staff also said the district received four proposal submissions for Sequoia High School on April 24; those proposals were reviewed and scored by capital‑improvements and district staff and will come before the board for review as part of the regular board meeting process.
Discussion versus decision: the capital‑outlay presentation was informational. The board praised the Freehomes project during discussion; no formal votes or contract awards were recorded in the work session.
Next steps: Sequoia High School proposals will be brought to the board for consideration during the regular meeting process; staff will continue to report project milestones.
