District says central school demolition and rebuild will start after school year; 14-month build targeted
Summary
School officials said demolition for the central-school project will begin the Monday after school lets out, with a 14-month construction timeline starting August 2027 for opening; phase-two planning is already under way to avoid gaps between projects.
School-district staff updated the roundtable on the central school project and wider strategic-plan progress. A district representative reported demolition is scheduled for the Monday after school gets out and said a 14-month construction timeline is planned, "starting, August 2027, to open the doors." They added that phase-two planning is already under way so work will continue in sequence rather than pausing between projects.
The transcript uses more than one name for the project (appearing as both "Polyphony Central" and "Polytechnic Central" in different parts of the record). Participants discussed coordinating site grading, stormwater work and water-department feedback with city staff before construction. The district said those coordination steps and having designs ready would support potential budget requests in the next fiscal cycle.
Why it matters: A 14-month construction timetable affects enrollment logistics, bus routing and permit coordination with the city. Staff signaled planning steps intended to keep projects moving consecutively to avoid extended interruptions in school services.
Next steps: Staff will continue site coordination with city contacts, begin outreach tied to the design contract when it is signed, and present design and budget needs during the city’s upcoming budget cycle.
