Measure V projects progress; district reallocates funds to drop‑off and safety improvements
Summary
Facilities staff updated the board on Measure V work: new buildings, playgrounds, EV chargers and accessibility upgrades are underway; the district said it will pause work on an education center and reallocate funds toward parking and pick‑up/drop‑off safety projects at Murdoch and Loma elementary schools.
District facilities staff presented an update on Measure V projects at the June 10 board meeting, highlighting completed work and near-term projects aimed at safety and accessibility.
The presentation included photos and progress reports from several campuses: Parkway Middle School's new administration building is nearly complete and will be followed by modernization and three new classrooms; Murray Manor, Northmont and Fletcher Hills projects are closing out; and Lemmon Avenue and Maryland Avenue received perimeter security and playground work.
Facilities staff said the bond program also funded accessibility upgrades and EV charging stations: "With La Mesa Dale and Rolando, we have a total of 10 new EV charging stations," a facilities presenter said. The chargers are on the district meter and will be available to the public when campus gates are open, staff added.
The board heard that, after reviewing needs, staff proposes pausing the education center project and reallocating those dollars to projects judged to have more direct safety impact, including parking‑lot and pickup/drop‑off reconfigurations at Murdoch and Loma elementary schools. The facilities presenter said the district is meeting with a traffic engineer to scope those projects; long‑range timelines were described as 12 to 18 months from design to completion.
Staff also highlighted returned project contingencies and examples of cost savings from closed projects, which freed funds for additional items such as turf overlays and irrigation controls.
What happens next: staff will meet with a traffic engineer for Murdoch and Loma, finalize designs that must be reviewed by the Division of the State Architect, and bring specific project plans and timeline estimates back to the board for approval.
