Summary

Trustees voted to approve schematic design documents for the new North Elementary, a ~115,000-square-foot facility with a full competition gym and storm shelter, as recommended by administration under the 2024 bond program.

The FRENSHIP ISD Board of Trustees approved schematic design documents for the new North Elementary School during the May meeting, advancing a project included in the 2024 bond program.

Administration recommended approval of the schematic design as presented. The district described the new elementary as roughly 115,000 square feet with commons areas at the building spine, classroom wings, a full competition gym and an integrated storm shelter. Presenters said the building footprint will match a recently completed elementary (Ridgewood) and will use a consistent brick and exterior finish palette.

Trustee Andrew Cox moved to approve the schematic documents; Trustee Amy Phillips seconded. The board approved the recommendation by voice vote; the presiding officer said, "All in favor, say aye," and the motion carried.

The action advances design work but the transcript did not include specific budget adjustments or a recorded roll-call vote. Administration and staff will proceed with subsequent design steps under the bond program.
