Ridgecrest locker rooms near completion; board aims to have girls' facilities ready for mid‑month sports
Summary
Board members reported progress on Ridgecrest construction, saying the locker rooms and lockers are nearly finished and officials hope to have the girls' locker rooms ready in time for softball and cross‑country season; remaining work depends on final paperwork and fire marshal signoff.
Board members said work at the Ridgecrest site is close to completion and that the district is pushing to make the girls' locker rooms available before the start of the school sports season.
A board speaker said Ridgecrest "is getting started" and that officials expect to report progress at the next meeting. "We're really pushing them because softball starts the fifteenth, I believe and ... cross country will start in there somewhere," the speaker said, adding that the district is "hoping to make sure we have those locker rooms available for girls because that was the key to building all those locker rooms." The speaker confirmed the installation of lockers is underway and noted only the final locker units remain to be installed.
Staff and contractors are addressing remaining paperwork, including fire marshal requirements and related documentation: "So they're close. They've got the fire marshal and Chitty on to get the last paperwork," a board speaker said. The meeting record did not include a formal project timeline, contract amounts, or a firm occupancy date.
Board members said they plan to visit the Ridgecrest site and will continue to monitor progress. No formal action, funding vote, or change order for Ridgecrest was made during the meeting.
