Summary
An insurance administrator praised safety for the $43 million North Shore Elementary construction project; the board approved consulting and multiple construction bid awards including Peter Pendleton and Westside sports‑field projects and a parking expansion, all by recorded roll call.
On Dec. 11 the board heard a brief presentation from Dulce Castaneda of Keenan, the district's insurance administrator for the Statewide Educational Wrap Up Program, about the $43,000,000 North Shore Elementary School construction project. Castaneda said the owner‑controlled insurance program prioritized safety and reported no workers' compensation, general liability or builders'‑risk claims for the project to date; she thanked Pro West Constructors and district staff for their work.
Later in the agenda, trustees approved several construction‑related actions. The board approved a consulting agreement with Bridal Bites Consulting for technical assistance and training for nutrition services staff (item 10.1). The board also authorized award of Bid #175‑2025 for the Peter Pendleton Elementary School sports‑field and outdoor learning environment project and Bid #176‑2025 for the Westside Elementary School sports‑field/outdoor learning and parking‑lot expansion project; both awards were approved unanimously. A trustee noted these were the district's first virtual bids and highlighted that a local contractor's combined bids were substantially lower than the next bidder.
The meeting record shows the district is advancing multiple site construction projects alongside ongoing safety oversight and insurance coverage through the Statewide Educational Wrap Up Program.
