School staff outline plan to add permanent partitions, doors at high school; bids eyed for November
Summary
Facilities staff said drawings for permanent classroom partitions and doors at the high school are nearly final and the district hopes to bid the work in November–December with construction targeted for summer 2026; engineers are producing conservative cost estimates and Jacob will compile pricing ahead of the safety committee meeting.
Facilities staff updated committee members on planned permanent partitions and new doors at the high school, saying design work is nearing completion and the project would go to bid in November or December.
The presenters said engineers are reviewing electrical and mechanical impacts so the new corridors and walls comply with building and egress codes. Jacob — identified in the meeting as coordinating engineers and pricing — is compiling conservative budget estimates that should be ready before the district’s safety committee meets on Monday.
Officials said the work is intended to be completed in summer 2026. They cautioned drawings are not final and a project budget has not yet been established. Engineers are providing conservative estimates “to avoid leaving you short,” according to staff comments, and the final compiled price will be presented with the safety-committee materials.
Committee members were invited to review detailed drawings; staff noted some drawings are performance-based specifications to give contractors options during bidding. No formal vote or contract award was taken at the meeting.
