Board votes to delay public rentals of new high‑school auditorium for 60 days
Summary
Following a facilities update on remaining warranty and operations items, the board approved a motion to delay public rentals of the new high‑school auditorium for 60 days while staff completes training and system commissioning.
Facilities staff reported that although the new high‑school auditorium is operational, remaining warranty work, personnel training and system commissioning require additional time before the district should resume public rentals. Mr. Lewis told the board the division has “not been having our facility rented by the public” and recommended a 60‑day pause to ensure staff training on audio and building systems and to resolve punch‑list items.
A board member moved to place a 60‑day hold on rentals; the motion was seconded and discussed. Members asked whether the online rental application and fee process would be ready concurrently; staff said the online system is operational internally but some workflow and personnel steps still need finalization. The board voted by voice in favor of delaying rentals for at least 60 days; a numeric roll call tally is not recorded in the transcript.
Board members discussed next steps to align the readiness review with an update on the rental application process so both the facility and administrative procedures are ready when rentals resume. Staff committed to return with an update at the end of the 60‑day period.
