Summary
Bond program manager reported infrastructure, site grading, transformer installation and interior finishes are progressing; construction completion is tracking slightly ahead of payments and the project remains within budget.
Cameron Holloman, bond program manager, told trustees the 2024 high‑school bond construction is progressing on schedule and within budget.
Holloman said site grading and the front drive are taking shape, the transformer and meter are on site or en route, the parking lot and drives are complete in some areas, and interior work (roofing, HVAC, sheetrock, painting and windows) is moving toward the district’s target to be dried in by February. He estimated the project is roughly 55–58% complete while about 51% of the construction budget remains unspent, a financing position he described as healthy.
Holloman noted soft costs remain available for end‑of‑project items such as furniture, and he described steps the district is taking to prioritize additional infrastructure work across the district using bond funds.
Why it matters: Bond construction impacts school openings, student occupancy and future operating budgets; trustees heard both progress photographs and schedule milestones.
What’s next: Continued site work, utility relocations and interior finishes; trustees will receive further updates as project milestones are reached.
