District says high-school stadium on track for May; contingency planning and roof work discussed
Loading...
Summary
Facilities committee recapped the stadium project's projected May completion, contingency planning for graduation, Bureau Veritas condition assessments, targeted roof replacements at Blue Bell and Stony Creek, and a Breslin feasibility study; a grant application for approximately $1,000,000 toward an estimated $2,000,000+ renovation was discussed.
Joe (voice S2), presenting the facilities and transportation committee recap, told the board the high-school stadium construction is "on track for completion in May" but that the administration is developing contingency plans in case weather or other delays push completion into June. "We will not share any plan right now at this point publicly because we're far from needing to enact a contingency plan," the superintendent stated while stressing the district is aiming to preserve an outdoor graduation experience if possible.
The committee review included facilities condition assessments prepared by Bureau Veritas and a capital-plan presentation by CHA. The assessments produced a facilities condition index (FCI) used to prioritize projects; Shady Grove and West Hagan High School were among the lowest-rated buildings in the district's FCI, the committee said.
The administration recommended two targeted roof replacement projects for summer at Blue Bell Elementary and Stony Creek (limited to older sections, not new additions). The board also discussed a Breslin feasibility study to evaluate major renovation options for Shady Grove and the high school, and the administration said it applied for a $1,000,000 grant toward a larger Stony Creek roofing project estimated to exceed $2,000,000.
Board members asked about timeline precision (early vs. late May), possibility of weekend/second-shift work to keep the schedule, and the public release of Bureau Veritas reports after the board accepts them. No formal approvals were taken at the meeting; the items will return for board action at future meetings.
