Board revises 10‑year capital improvement plan and authorizes immediate procurement for FY26 projects
Summary
The board approved a revised 10‑year capital improvement plan and authorized administration to secure vendor quotations and start approved FY26 projects without further board action because of timing needs.
The Stevens Point Area Public School District Board on March 10 approved a revised 10‑year capital improvement plan and authorized administration to begin procurement and work on eight approved fiscal‑year 2026 projects immediately to meet summer completion timelines.
Business Services Chair Ted Kowalski presented the annual CIP revision, noting priority projects that moved earlier in the plan because of condition and scheduling needs. Board discussion identified specific near‑term projects: exterior painting at Bannock, replacement of roof sections at Ben Franklin, public‑address (PA) system upgrades at Ben Franklin, Jefferson and Madison, and resurfacing the SPASH tennis courts.
Because several projects must be finished before the 2025‑26 school year, the board approved a second motion authorizing administration to secure final quotations, begin vendor selection and start work on the approved FY26 CIP projects without returning to the board for each contract so long as projects stay within the approved budgets.
Motions and votes: the revised 10‑year CIP was approved (motion moved by Meg; second by Dennis; voice vote carried). The board then authorized administration to secure final quotations and begin work on FY26 CIP projects without further board approval (motion moved by Will; second by Ted; voice vote carried).
Administrators said referendum‑earmarked funds and the district’s budgetary provisions cover the projects; one board member raised a question about grant funding and referendum allocations during discussion. Administration will seek quotations and report back to the board on vendor selections and project scheduling.
