District flags foundation settlement at middle school; staff estimating engineering work and repairs
Summary
District staff told the board July 14 that they have identified foundation settlement in a wing of the middle school; initial outreach to foundation contractors and engineers was underway and staff offered a ballpark planning number of about $200,000 for repairs.
District staff notified the Connon C USD 464 Board of Education on July 14 that the middle school has experienced foundation settlement in an exterior wing, producing consistent localized floor depressions and evidence of structural support movement. Staff said they have contacted foundation-repair companies and believe the work will involve engineering evaluation and a substantial repair project. Staff offered an early planning estimate of around $200,000 for remediation but said that number was preliminary and that formal engineering would be required to scope the work and refine cost estimates. Staff told the board they were not aware of any immediate danger to building occupants but described the issue as widespread across a wing and said the district will address it promptly. Bond contingency funds were proposed as a likely funding source and staff said the project could be scheduled in 2026 pending final estimates and design. The board recorded no vote on the matter at the meeting; staff said they would return with engineering recommendations and more precise cost estimates.
