District outlines four major capital projects; high school remodel near completion
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Chris Parker updated the board on four major capital projects: the high school remodel (about 80–85% complete), Tate renovations, a large Hill City project slated for the coming summer, and junior-high additions; he also listed security and facility improvements across the district.
Assistant Superintendent Chris Parker told the board the district is managing four major capital projects and provided progress details and next steps. He said the high school remodel that began in 2024 is roughly 80–85% complete, with remaining work (ceilings, floors, finishing the old ninth-grade wing, band-room upgrades, and performing-arts AV improvements) scheduled through the summer. "We've done probably 80% of the work, 85% of the work," Parker said.
Parker described Tate work (two playgrounds replaced, parking repaved, HVAC work, and interior painting and floor refurbishment planned for the summer) and said Hill City will undergo the most extensive work this summer with HVAC, roofs, generators, new playground, gym-floor replacement and AV upgrades. He noted junior-high classroom additions are planned and that the junior-high parking work will wait until construction completes. Districtwide safety work includes rekeying buildings, security-camera upgrades, interior/exterior signage and installation of vape detectors. Parker said the College and Career Academy is in the planning stage and that specific program-room needs will determine final design.
Parker thanked staff and contractors working on the projects and said the district is aiming to bring all buildings into a 20-year maintenance/replacement cycle.
