Board approves donations, mobile clinic agreement and FY26 capital-plan submittal; staff notes open $800,000 PO for RBMS roof
Summary
The board accepted several donations, renewed a facility-use agreement with Chiricahua Community Health Centers for a mobile clinic and approved the district's FY2026 capital-plan submittal to the Arizona School Facilities Board; staff reported an open $800,000 purchase order for RBMS roof work that remains on file pending construction approval.
The Douglas Unified School District Governing Board approved four donations, renewed a facility-use agreement for an on-site mobile clinic and approved the district's capital-plan submittal to the Arizona School Facilities Board.
Donations accepted: Staff presented four donations: assorted musical instruments valued at $2,175 for band programs, an $6,000 donation from Edward Jones Trust to the FFA for travel, donated notebooks and pencils estimated at $300 for the DHS construction technology class, and a $2,000 donation from the county sheriff's department to Paul Huber Middle School athletics. The board approved acceptance of those donations.
Mobile clinic agreement: The board renewed a facility-use agreement with Chiricahua Community Health Centers to allow a mobile clinic to provide on-site dental, medical and virtual behavioral-health services for Douglas High School students. Staff said the agreement had been reviewed by both parties' attorneys and described the arrangement as a routine renewal.
Capital-plan submittal and facilities backlog: The board approved the annual submittal to the Arizona School Facilities Board. Staff reported several ongoing capital needs and long-standing open purchase orders, including an open PO for RBMS estimated at $800,000 for roof work that was authorized for design years earlier but awaits construction funding and scheduling. Staff said some quotes date back four years and that construction costs have increased since then; other needs mentioned included replacement of aging high-school air-conditioning units and the RBMS elevator, for which design has been funded but construction is pending.
Votes and next steps: Motions to accept donations, renew the clinic agreement and submit the FY26 capital plan were seconded and approved by roll-call votes. Staff said they would continue to monitor School Facilities Board priorities and will proceed with projects when construction-phase funding is authorized.
Why it matters: Donations support extracurricular programs and classroom needs; the mobile clinic provides health services that can increase access for students; and the capital-plan submittal documents district facility needs to the state board that prioritizes school construction funding.
