Summary
District construction consultant reported progress at the middle school and ancillary sites: girls' locker room slab poured, boys' locker room interior work nearly complete, roughly 200 cubic yards of footing concrete poured to date and continued grading at ECC parking lot; timeline pending drainage permitting.
District construction staff provided an on-site progress update on the district’s building projects, reporting progress on interior work and exterior footings and flagging a pending permitting item affecting the drainage schedule.
Tyler (identified in the meeting as the person giving the construction update) said the girls’ locker room slab was poured about two weeks earlier and that CMU block walls would begin the next day so electrical, plumbing and sprinkler trades can complete in-wall work. "Our slide was poured about 2 weeks ago. The CMU block walls, it will start tomorrow," Tyler said. He reported that boys’ locker room block walls are roughly 90% complete and that in-wall electrical and plumbing were finished, with above-ceiling work beginning for lighting, plumbing and sprinkler systems.
On exterior work, Tyler said the project had poured roughly 200 yards of concrete for footings to date and expected another 80–100 yards in the next two days along the east side. He noted continued earth-moving at the ECC parking lot but said one Answered Shop Instruction (ASI) remained unresolved — the precise curve inlet boxes needed were not yet specified — which prevents final grading and stone placement.
Tyler also said the team had requested an updated timeline in light of permitting delays for a drainage project; district staff expected a clarified schedule after the next construction meeting. When asked whether the drainage permitting would push completion to Thanksgiving or Christmas, Tyler said the contractor would provide an updated schedule at the following meeting.
Why it matters: work on locker rooms, footings and site grading affects upcoming activity (e.g., plumbing tie-ins, parking availability and outdoor facilities) and can influence short-term budgeting and scheduling for school operations.
No formal board action was recorded for the construction update beyond regular construction oversight and acceptance of the report.
