Mills High additions near completion; Old Jacksonville slab removal quoted at $861,777
Summary
Construction updates show Mills High punch-list work remaining and Robinson High earthwork/slab pours beginning; College Station approved by ADE for bid. Old Jacksonville Elementary slab removal is quoted at $861,777 and asbestos tile abatement was identified as part of the scope.
District construction manager Mr. Johnson told the board that work at Mills High School is largely finished aside from punch-list items such as railings, and that a scheduled federal-judge tour is planned for Jan. 19, 2026. Robinson High is starting slab pours for restroom areas and field restroom facilities, and College Station has received ADE approval to move forward with the bid process.
Johnson said Harris Elementary roof and gym-flooring repairs are ongoing and that the district has reviewed two draft designs for a Harris office and entry renovation. He also reported that a contractor provided a quote to remove the slab at Old Jacksonville Elementary for $861,777 and said asbestos-containing floor tile and adhesive remain in the slab and will require abatement as part of any demolition.
On wastewater infrastructure, Johnson said the district is renewing permits for three sites (Lawson, Landmark and Oak Grove) and soliciting pricing to replace aging units; Baker Elementary's septic system remains a significant infrastructure challenge and may require either costly tie-in to municipal sewer or a rebuilt facility.
Board members asked Johnson to circulate the Baldwin & Shell bid documents and to research traffic and enrollment impacts in the Sherwood widening area so the district can plan for potential enrollment increases tied to 1,200'1,400 new families in the development corridor.
