Summary
District construction staff reported ongoing work at Crockett (on schedule for August opening), McGill (asbestos removal and demolition permitting), Glenn Middle School (detailed design for a 1,000–1,100 capacity school), Lakeview (Mariachi Hall and CTE additions), and fast-tracked waterline work at Central High.
San Angelo ISD trustees received a multi-campus construction update Feb. 9 covering progress at elementary and secondary campuses and a Lakeview campus fly-through.
A construction presenter told the board Crockett is under construction with steel and concrete in place and remains on schedule for an August opening. McGill is moving into asbestos abatement and pending demolition after permits are secured. Glenn Middle School is in detailed design; staff said the new Glenn is being built to house approximately 1,000 students (full capacity noted as 1,100) to maintain equity with other middle-school sizes. Lakeview design selections are advancing and will include a Mariachi Hall, expanded CTE spaces (wood and mechanics shops), and potential additional parking or a bus drive if budgeting allows. The presenter showed images and an attempted fly-through video of the Lakeview additions.
Trustees asked operational questions about internal connections (walkways and entries), and a trustee requested Crockett’s new student capacity; staff replied Crockett’s capacity is 650 and offered to provide any additional numeric details after the meeting. Staff also said Central High School waterline replacement is being fast-tracked to allow rerouting of a main water line beneath the campus before scheduled demolition.
The district emphasized a desire to stay within budget and that optional features (additional parking/bus drive) will be priced and added only if the projects remain within budget. Staff said more detailed Glenn design items will be returned to the board for approval in coming months.
