Summary
District staff and consultants provided a planning update on capital projects at West Aurora High School, including discussion of tennis courts and coordination with the park district; board was presented future design steps that will return for approval if budgets allow.
District staff and representatives from Studio GC presented a follow-up "part 2" planning update for capital projects at West Aurora High School and opened the floor for board questions. The presentation did not include a formal action; instead, staff said the update is intended to keep board members informed about items that are in the planning queue and that specific design and budget steps will return for board approval when ready.
A board member asked whether the district had considered adding two additional tennis courts to better match other conference schools. Project representatives said they had explored the option during earlier resurfacing planning and concluded that additional courts would be feasible physically but that the district typically coordinates with the park district's nearby Washington courts. The consultants said the park district's courts need resurfacing and that use of those courts is the more likely near-term approach rather than adding courts on the high school site.
District staff reiterated the board's role in later approval steps: future design or construction steps will be brought back to the board for formal action, and any budget decisions related to a deficit or reallocation would be presented before work proceeds.
