Northwest Local superintendent outlines renovation timeline, aims to replace high‑school turf by May 2026
Summary
Superintendent John told the board the district plans to replace the high‑school turf with work expected to take about two months and the district to break ground in late January or February for phased renovations.
Superintendent John told the Northwest Local Board of Education that the district is moving ahead with facility work and expects to replace the high‑school turf in spring 2026.
“The goal is to replace our turf by mid‑May ’26,” the superintendent said, adding that the turf replacement is expected to take about two months and should be complete by June 2026 in time for the 2026–27 sports season.
John also said the district’s core group meets monthly with the firms Regency and Harris Day to finalize technology plans and budget details for a renovation and addition project. He said the work will proceed in phases, with pieces completed ahead of other elements, and that the district hopes to break ground in late January or February.
Why it matters: The timeline matters to athletics and building users and informs scheduling for next year’s activities. The superintendent said the district is trying to remain within budget and has been reviewing line items to limit overruns.
The board was told plans and detailed documents are posted on the district website under About Us → Facilities Project for those who want to review the proposals. The superintendent said the district will likely host a stakeholder meeting in mid‑to‑late October to present plans and gather input.
