Board accepts Measure B audit, hears facilities updates and approves locker-room architect work
Loading...
Summary
Trustees received a clean Measure B audit, heard updates on solar, generator and grant-funded water-heater projects, and unanimously approved ADAS Architects proposals for locker-room and restroom modernizations at Nevada Union and Bear River.
Trustees reviewed the district's Measure B building fund financial and performance audit and were told there were no findings for the year. The board voted to accept the audit.
Facilities director Matt McCullough updated trustees on capital projects across the district: ADA pathway work and new solar arrays at Bear River and another site, near-complete kitchen generator startup testing, a scoreboard funded by parent fundraising and installed at Bear River, and $90,000 in PG&E grant funding that paid for electric water-heater replacements at Nevada Union, Bear River and Silver Springs. McCullough said the district completed approximately 80 work orders in March and noted ongoing maintenance projects including media-center refreshes and new computer labs.
Following the update, the board considered two ADAS Architects proposals: one to modernize locker rooms, restrooms and roofing at Nevada Union High School and a similar, smaller-scope proposal for Bear River High School. Trustees asked about finishes, colors and school-identity considerations; McCullough said the planning process will include tile, flooring, partitions and locker selections and aim to reflect school pride. Both proposals were moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
Next steps: facilities staff will return with detailed design selections and timelines; the board will receive further updates as projects proceed.
