Milton outlines plan for health care sciences lab at high school, eyes fund 46 financing
Summary
District leaders presented schematic designs for a renovated health care sciences lab at Milton High School — including simulation bays, bed stations and a phlebotomy room — and said schematic pricing and a finance-committee review will precede any construction, with fund 46 as a likely funding source.
Milton School District administrators presented schematic plans for a renovated health care sciences facility at Milton High School and said they will seek construction pricing and a finance-committee review before moving to detailed design. The proposed space would centralize the district’s growing CNA, EMT and other health-care career offerings and increase training capacity with simulation capabilities.
Jeremy, an administrator presenting the program growth, said the district had worked with PRA (the architect) and construction-manager partners on an initial schematic and "we'd like to call it kind of a gut check on what those renovations could potentially cost." Steven (Steve), the district project lead, described design elements that include four bed stations for CNA practice, a simulation lab with programmable scenarios for EMT training, and a dedicated phlebotomy room for future certification courses.
Administrators said the project could be funded through fund 46 and that the facility is not currently on the 10-year capital maintenance plan but would be incorporated if the project moves forward. The district will present preliminary pricing to the finance committee, consider a construction-document phase contract with the architect, and evaluate partnerships and potential fundraising to support equipment and program growth.
Board members asked about capacity, scheduling and staffing for certification programs; presenters said state certification caps place limits on CNA class sizes (one instructor per eight students), but the facility would provide scheduling flexibility to run multiple sessions and support related coursework such as anatomy and physiology. Administrators estimated the earliest construction planning and pricing work could take place in 2026, with design and finance committee review as immediate next steps.
What happens next: The finance committee will review schematic pricing and a proposed construction-document contract; district staff will report back with cost estimates and a proposed inclusion on the capital maintenance plan.
