District project staff updated the board on progress at the new stadium and track-and-field complex, reporting completed drainage tests, foundation work, and incoming turf shipments.

The project lead said the foundation excavation for lighting went down 18 feet with no water intrusion and that drainage performance was strong during recent heavy rains, reducing the risk of cancellations for events (SEG 2160-2166). Workers had installed ecology blocks and were preparing foundations and press box infrastructure; turf shipments were slated to arrive within days (SEG 2210-2250). LED-light foundations are in place and will be installed after other staging; restroom equipment and scoreboard components were also on order (SEG 2239-2250, SEG 2268-2279).

The presenter said the goal is to have the stadium available for spectators and community use in spring, targeting a community day and celebration on May 1, though some finishing work such as final surfacing for the track will remain weather-dependent (SEG 2268-2284). Board members praised construction teams and discussed expected project phasing.

No formal board action was required; the update provided timeline expectations and highlighted grant-funded components and required pace of work into the next calendar year.
