Sheldon ISD updates board on Crenshaw Stadium repairs, construction delays and $65,000 water-meter action item
Summary
District staff reported delays on a middle-school construction schedule after encountering groundwater, outlined track and scoreboard work at Crenshaw Stadium, cited $4,818 in window replacement costs so far and said purchasing 10 ECMS water meters for $65,000 will be an action item for the board.
District administration gave a comprehensive facilities and bond update describing repairs, construction status and planned procurements. Staff said Crenshaw Stadium track repairs were postponed by a recent freeze and rain, a new scoreboard is in production, and concrete at bleacher areas will be tested and repaired. The district reported replacing 20 fogged windows has cost $4,818 for parts and labor to date.
Administrators briefed trustees on construction at the Cravens Early Childhood project, saying walls are going up and the work remains on schedule. For the new ninth- and tenth-grade campus, staff reported a completed traffic study and plans to add a turn lane and restripe Community Drive; consultants (WJH) completed page-turn reviews and are finalizing black-box theater designs.
On infrastructure, staff said adding a new wing will require more water capacity and announced a planned purchase of 10 ECMS devices. "That will cost the district, $65,000," the administrator said, noting the price had been negotiated down from $95,000; staff said the matter "is an action item tonight" and that a formal agreement would be presented to the board in a future meeting.
The administration also recommended purchasing a generator for the ninth-grade campus and said a price for unit acquisition is included in the information packet; installation would be contracted separately. Other upcoming projects discussed included roofing packages (three procurement packages to ensure warranties) and elementary playground renovations expected to begin in March.
The transcript records these updates and the announcement of an action item for the ECMS purchase; it does not include a roll-call vote on the ECMS purchase in the recorded segments.
