Summary
Facilities staff reported three outstanding maintenance projects — a roof replacement pre‑bid, a new canopy at the high school, and a concrete sidewalk across the high school courtyard — and outlined near‑term steps and scheduling challenges.
Mr. Orr, a district facilities staff member, told the board the district has three outstanding facilities projects this budget year: a roof project at a campus identified in the presentation as "El Michigan," a canopy connecting the main high school building to the CTE building, and a diagonal sidewalk through the high school courtyard.
The nut graf: Facilities staff said a pre‑bid meeting for the roof project has been conducted, bid openings are expected at the end of the month and board approval of a contractor will be sought in February. The canopy crew is on site and work has begun; the courtyard sidewalk requires careful scheduling because freshly poured concrete will need protection from student traffic.
Mr. Orr said the roofing project will be rebid after two prior attempts and that the board will see a contractor selection request in February. The canopy work is underway and the team is coordinating with the site supervisor for timing. On the sidewalk, Mr. Orr said the work will improve a worn dirt path that forms during events and that the district must choose a time that minimizes risks to students when the concrete is curing.
Ending: Board members thanked facilities staff for prioritizing upkeep; no vote or formal decision on these projects was taken at the meeting.
