Bond projects nearing completion; district adds $2.5 million interest to bond budget, Oliver Hudson reports
Summary
Bond work at Taylor High School, CTE and multiple campuses is wrapping up; district applied about $2.5 million in bond interest to increase the bond budget to just under $85 million and has uncommitted design funds for a future elementary school.
Oliver Hudson updated trustees on the bond program, saying most major projects are nearing completion and staff are working through remaining site and coordination issues.
At Taylor High School, remaining work includes agricultural space and a small scope of classrooms expected to finish in May. The CTE building and maintenance drive paving were delayed by rain; district maintenance paving and bus parking drives are scheduled to finish before staff relocation and furniture delivery. Hudson said a relocated fiber line delayed landscaping at one campus retention pond but has been addressed.
On budget details, Hudson said the district applied about $2.5 million of interest earned on bond funds to the budget, moving the total from about $82.5 million to just under $85 million. He said uncommitted values include approximately $2.6 million in design and consultant costs for a future elementary school and about $2.9 million in contingency, noting land purchases are starting to reduce the uncommitted balance.
Hudson invited questions about schedule and budget; trustees did not take formal action on the update. The report set expectations that remaining work will wrap in the coming weeks and that staff will continue coordinating site and utility issues as projects close out.
