District outlines summer projects and 2026 CNR list, from ADA matting to auditorium lighting
Summary
Facilities director Claudio Bozzano reviewed recent summer work and a year‑ahead list of capital and LEA projects: new middle school turnover, privacy and access upgrades, split AC repurposing, phased classroom blind replacements, ADA matting for playgrounds, blacktop repairs, rooftop unit refurbishing, a thermal imaging roof study and a pending specialty quote for auditorium stage lighting.
Claudio Bozzano, the district’s facilities lead, presented a comprehensive grounds and infrastructure update that cataloged projects completed this summer and those planned for the 2025–26/2026 budget year.
Bozzano highlighted the successful turnover and occupancy of the new middle school, many repurposed items salvaged from the old building, and a set of capital non‑recurring (CNR) and LEA projects: control access and privacy film installations; split AC repurposing; exhaust fan replacement; a phased program to replace classroom blinds (roughly $50,000 per quarter); ADA matting at a playground to allow wheelchair access; a $31,000 outdoor equipment shed; and a rooftop package unit refurbishment.
Nut graf: The presentation was both inventory and planning: several items are already quoted and scheduled, others require scope review or additional quotes (notably specialty auditorium stage lighting that has come in above budget and may require an RFP). Bozzano also described a district-wide thermal imaging roof study — intended to identify failing roof sections before full replacement — and noted the legal requirement to complete an indoor air quality assessment by July 1, 2026, with 20% of the district due each year under recent legislation.
Bozzano said some projects are scheduled for the coming summer to avoid disruption of students; bleachers are due to be assembled before an upcoming home game and many of the LEA items were completed or will be completed while school is out. On specialty work he said more vendor detail is needed: “The quote for the specialty lighting above the stage came in much higher. That’s gonna be part of our scope review.”
Board members asked for clearer, itemized funding sources and dates for each project, and requested quarterly or triannual reports that distinguish CNR funding from operating funds. Several members emphasized the value of including budget columns and anticipated project dates in future spreadsheets to improve transparency and to help anticipate unplanned costs in the operating budget.
What happens next: Facilities will add source-of-funds information and, where possible, target dates; the board suggested a regular reporting cadence (September, January, April) and asked staff to provide updates on projects that change status.
