The presentation, introduced by Superintendent Doctor Schuler and led by Mike Dolter, senior project architect at Perkins and Will, outlined a phased timeline that begins with enabling and classroom renovation work in summer 2025, moves into major building additions in the 2025–26 school year, and completes remaining interior renovations in 2026–27.
