Summary

Facilities staff reported progress on school projects: a high school gym-floor replacement to begin with stripping next Monday and expected completion in 3–4 weeks, locker-room upgrades and visitor seating plans, score table installation pending electrical work, and a contractor-scheduled exterior light repair.

Facilities staff gave the board a multi-school status update on projects and maintenance.

At the middle and elementary schools, crews are finishing a Gaga pit and addressing older maintenance tickets. The high school is receiving major locker-room upgrades: five athletic locker rooms were painted, new lockers installed and lighting ordered; installation and painter scheduling indicates completion over the next two weeks for lighting and during fall break for other work.

Facilities staff said the high school gym floor contractor will begin stripping the floor "Monday" and expects to deliver and acclimate new wood the following week, with a 3–4 week timeline for full completion. A new score table has been assembled but cannot be installed until electrical service is run to the relocated site. Staff also reported a purchase order is out for the exterior light near the football/baseball locker room and the contractor’s schedule currently indicates a one-week to 10-day timeline for installation.

Board members asked about visitor benches for visitors’ locker rooms; facilities staff said benches are being ordered or will be reinstalled from existing stock. Concession stand ceiling and roof repairs are planned for fall break when students are not on campus.

What happens next: Facilities staff will proceed with the scheduled gym-floor work, run power for the score table, install exterior lighting when the contractor is available, and provide updates to the board as projects progress.
