Superintendent's staff reported that six firms were interviewed for a districtwide facilities analysis and that Fyndorf (general contractor) and Somerville (architect/engineering) were selected to lead the study.

The study will focus on identifying potential solutions to needs at the district's aging junior high facility and evaluate 4K and early-childhood program space. Staff said the newly formed team had its first meeting and that the district will provide regular updates to the board, including a major task timeline at a future meeting and a planned board workshop in late winter or early spring to review findings.

Staff said they will share early information with junior high staff so those employees have insight into the study process. No construction contract was authorized at the meeting; the item described selection of firms to perform the study and a timeline for board engagement and updates.
