CTE building under construction at Bountiful High; district outlines phased master plan and parking impacts
Summary
Davis School District officials told the council that a new career and technical education (CTE) building is being framed at Bountiful High, that the project temporarily removed about 100 parking stalls and that a full high‑school rebuild remains a long‑term, bond-dependent idea.
Weston Weeks, Davis School District facilities representative, described construction of a new career and technical education (CTE) building at Bountiful High during the council’s May 27 work session and reviewed a speculative master plan for a future phased replacement of the high school.
Weeks said footings and foundations are in place and framing is underway for the CTE building, which occupies the former drivers‑education range. “The CTE building will house all of the CTE programs, welding, auto shop, business, all sorts of CTE programs,” he said. The district plans to remove the existing CTE building in a later phase and recover the lost parking stalls.
Weeks estimated the construction has removed “about a hundred stalls-ish” and said the district expects to regain those stalls when it tears down the older CTE building in a subsequent phase. He characterized the larger high‑school replacement as a long‑term objective that might appear on a future bond and said full replacement would be a phased project requiring creative sequencing to keep students in classrooms.
Council members pressed for details about temporary parking management and student behavior in adjacent neighborhoods. One council member noted that earlier construction at other high schools led to students parking in nearby residential areas and urged the district to coordinate with school administrators and the city on temporary permit or first‑come solutions.
Weeks said the district has used strategies at other schools, such as restricting sophomore permits and arranging off‑site parking with nearby parks when available; at Bountiful High the district expects to work with school administration to find workable temporary arrangements. He also said sidewalks and a clear, safe route to the new CTE building have not been finalized; students may need to walk through parking areas and the district will evaluate a defined pathway.
Why it matters: the CTE project is currently active construction that affects parking capacity, student circulation and nearby residents. A broader replacement of Bountiful High remains speculative and would be subject to future bond funding.
No formal council action or vote was recorded on the CTE construction; the district said it will continue to coordinate with city staff on parking, traffic and public-safety impacts as construction continues.
