Board approves Curt Novak Construction package to finish Smithville High School; opening targeted next January
Summary
The board approved a construction package to complete Smithville High School’s learning spaces and two‑story foyer; presenters said specialty classrooms (culinary, biomedical, engineering) are included and the schedule targets opening next January with bond-funded site work progressing.
The Smithville R-II Board approved the Curt Novak Construction package 2.5 to complete the planned additions at Smithville High School.
Presenters described the package as the final construction package to complete the high-school work — adding learning spaces, a two‑story foyer and specialty classrooms, including a commercial culinary space and biomed and engineering labs. A district presenter said the approved work "completes the high school" and that schedules shared by project partners target opening in January.
Board members and staff also reported progress on bond-funded site work: dugouts and fences are being installed, turf has arrived, underground electrical and plumbing work is underway and concrete slabs and backstop footings will follow. Speakers thanked construction partners and project teams for handling challenging bids and keeping the project on track.
The board moved, seconded and approved the construction package (motions recorded in the transcript; no roll-call tally read aloud). Staff said community events and a reconfigured high-school footprint will create new spaces for students and the public.
