Tehachapi USD outlines summer 2025 maintenance plan including gym restorations, portable removal and roofing repairs
Summary
District staff presented summer maintenance projects across elementary, middle and high school campuses, highlighting gym renovations, roofing repairs, portable removal and site‑specific repairs; most items were informational and no major approvals were required at the meeting.
District staff presented a slate of planned maintenance and facility projects for summer 2025 at the April 8 Tehachapi Unified School District board meeting, outlining work at elementary schools, Jacobson Middle School, Tehachapi High School and the Tehachapi Education Center.
The presentation listed cafeteria table replacements at Cummings Valley Elementary (original tables date to 1999), painting of Tompkins Elementary south wing, water‑line repair at Golden Hills, landscaping and locker removal at Jacobson Middle School and gym restoration and flooring work at several campuses. Staff emphasized safety repairs (roofing and water line fixes) and aesthetic projects that district leaders said support school pride.
Key projects and details: Cummings Valley — replacement of retractable cafeteria tables and laminate countertop repairs; Tompkins — paint south wing and roof repairs over the kitchen; Golden Hills — front office flooring, water‑line repair and removal of an on‑site kindergarten sandbox; Jacobson Middle School — landscaping near the 400 wing, removal of damaged storage portables, locker removal and a gymnasium floor and lobby refresh; Tehachapi High School — staff lounge flooring replacement, gym painting and padding replacement, and repairs to restrooms at Coy Burnett Stadium; Tehachapi Education Center (TEC/TILA) — band room restoration, gym bleacher replacement with telescoping seating, restroom updates and roofing work.
Why it matters: Several projects were described as safety priorities (roofing repairs, water line repairs, a portable with extensive water damage described as a hazard) while others aimed to improve campus appearance and functionality for students and visitors. Trustees asked clarifying questions about which portables would be removed and whether gym padding work included ancillary rooms; staff clarified the gym padding project covered the main basketball gym only.
Budget and timing: Staff described the work as a typical summer maintenance slate intended to be completed during the district’s break window; specific contractor names were mentioned for painting work. No contract award motions were taken at the meeting on these items; they were presented as information.
Ending: The board received the summer maintenance plan as an informational presentation and asked staff to return with scheduling and funding details as projects are finalized.
