Sheldon ISD outlines HVAC controls, central chiller work and accessible playground upgrades
Summary
District staff said BAS controls and piping work for a 9th–10th grade campus central chiller will be brought as an action item (target cost at or below $400,000), and recommended accessible playground upgrades and turf at Sheldon Early Childhood funded by facility-sustainment and bond funds.
District administration updated the board on several facilities priorities tied to the 2022 bond program and ongoing maintenance.
Speaker 3 said the district's building automation systems (BAS) and a central chiller loop that serves the ninth/tenth grade campus and adjacent buildings need replacement; the plan is a two-part action covering controls and piping with a targeted cost at or below $400,000 and summer work to avoid renting temporary systems. He said the current BAS is 20–25 years old and the upgrade will allow central temperature control from one location.
Speaker 3 also described playground upgrades: while elementary campuses had playground work last year, Sheldon Early Childhood's northeast/southeast playground lacks accessible swings and ground-level inclusive features. Administration proposed limited turf in targeted areas, BuyBoard procurement for equipment and funding through facility-sustainment or bond savings. The playground change would leave existing mulch in other areas and focus accessibility improvements where needed.
Board members asked about timing and phasing, and administration said the chiller and controls item will be an upcoming action and the playground work will be funded through identified bond or sustainment lines in the capital program.
