Board considers reprogramming window replacement funds from consolidated schools
Summary
Administrators asked the board to reallocate window replacement funds from five schools on a consolidation list to finish remaining projects, saying the transfer would leave an $18,000 shortfall for the summer bidding cycle but avoid investing in schools slated for consolidation.
Administrators asked the board to consider reprogramming CIP window‑replacement funds from five schools on the consolidation list to other schools where full replacements remain planned. Speaker 7 said the projects are fully funded but five of the listed schools are on a consolidation list; moving those funds would allow the remaining projects to proceed and, as presented, would leave an $18,000 gap to be addressed.
The board asked whether schools slated for consolidation remain weather‑tight and usable until closure; administrators replied that repairs necessary to keep buildings safe and dry would be funded and completed, while full window replacements represent major upgrades. Members also questioned whether any window materials had been ordered or staged; staff said earlier delays were driven by ESSER‑timed HVAC and roof work and that no windows are sitting in warehouses awaiting installation for the highlighted projects.
No formal vote was taken during the work session; administrators presented the proposal for discussion and said they would follow up with details and timing prior to a business meeting when action could be scheduled.
