Summary
The facilities committee reported an emergency resolution for heating repairs, phase 2 high-school auditorium construction scheduled June 2026–January 2027, multipurpose field planning tied to state-aid eligibility (requires pairing with at least $10,000 of interior work), and a fitness-center renovation where initial testing indicated the floor does not require asbestos abatement.
The board received a report from the facilities committee covering several capital and maintenance items.
The committee said an emergency resolution was passed to address heating issues and to obtain vendor contracting; phase 2 of the high school auditorium project is scheduled from June 2026 to January 2027. The board noted that multipurpose field planning is underway and that, to be eligible for state aid reimbursement, field work must be paired with at least $10,000 of qualifying interior work; the projects targeted for a May 2026 voter proposition will be finalized during budget development.
On the high school fitness center renovation, the facilities report said quotes for floor work and equipment are under review and that initial testing indicates the existing floor did not require asbestos abatement. Board members discussed leasing some cardio equipment and purchasing other items over a multi-year plan.
The superintendent and facilities director said contractors have been notified for awarded contracts and a facilities subcommittee will develop final images and pricing for the multipurpose field for architect review and formal design.
