Summary

Superintendent said the Jimmy Graves Field project is nearly finished pending an occupancy certificate expected in January; the board will consider accepting a $500,000 donation from FPL to support the playground and is planning a January ribbon‑cutting.

Superintendent Doctor Moore updated the board on the district's Jimmy Graves Field project, saying the site looks complete but remains under punch‑list work and is awaiting a certificate of occupancy expected in January.

Moore said the district will present a $500,000 donation from FPL to the board and that earlier funding for the project included about $3.4 million obtained through various requests and a $1 million city contribution. The district plans a ribbon‑cutting and coordinated celebration for the community once the occupancy certificate is granted.

Moore also said staff will create supervision procedures and protocols to govern playground access once the facility opens.

Next steps: The district will bring the donation to the board in December and schedule a January opening and ribbon cutting after final inspections and the certificate of occupancy are issued.
