Superintendent and facilities staff asked the board for permission to prepare specifications and solicit bids to repair and repurpose the district’s aging middle‑school courts, and the board agreed to move forward. The architect gave a preliminary cost estimate of about $200,000 to rout and recoat cracked surfaces, place base asphalt layers and convert the area from four tennis courts into eight pickleball courts; the plan also includes adjustable basketball goals to increase active‑play options.

Separately, administrators said they would prepare bid specifications for two cantilevered canopies at the elementary school to reduce student exposure to rain at drop‑off and dismissal. The superintendent said the design chosen minimizes conflict with the building roofline and provides improved coverage for kindergarten pick‑up patterns; the board asked staff to consider an additional canopy to improve the preschool drop route and to return with details.

Board members also discussed a longer running sports‑complex planning process. Staff presented two recent architect proposals and asked whether the board wanted lower‑cost options, including a smaller building footprint and natural grass fields rather than turf. The superintendent and several board members asked the architect to prepare alternate estimates: (1) a smaller building with provision to add locker rooms later, (2) price comparisons for natural grass vs. artificial turf, and (3) a version without turf. The board asked for a first meeting with the architect restricted to the board (no public input) and then a second community meeting so residents can hear options and ask questions.

No contract awards were made at the meeting; the board gave staff permission to draw specifications and to solicit bids on the court resurfacing and canopies, and directed architects to prepare revised sports‑complex cost options for further board review.
