Summary
Committee asked for status on the LGI ceiling and recent water damage at the high school; maintenance staff said removal and replacement should be completed over the summer pending insurance contractor and material schedules.
School leaders updated the committee on water damage and ceiling repairs in the high school LGI/auditorium corridor and said major removal of damaged material was planned for a weekend to avoid disrupting events, with reconstruction expected during the summer.
Committee members asked whether the district and insurer would replace damaged custom ceiling panels with a more conventional drop ceiling to reduce future cost and lead time. District maintenance and the contractor were reviewing original architectural plans and material specifications before approving a change; the district reported the contractor was checking whether the existing panels provided special fire‑ or sound‑rated properties.
Committee members asked whether additional mitigation — for example, automatic shutoffs or detection for plumbing — could prevent a repeat incident. District staff said they would investigate whether technology or plumbing‑system changes could reduce the risk but did not provide an implementation timeline.
Ending: The district expects removal of ruined material to be scheduled around high‑school events and to complete replacement by the end of summer, subject to confirmation from the insurance contractor and delivery of replacement materials.
