Board member says athletic‑field materials were delayed; calls for resolution and documents at next meeting
Summary
A board member criticized the late delivery of January documents and raised concerns that missing bids and alternatives related to the athletic‑field project could involve about $1,000,000; the board agreed to revisit the item at the next meeting with consultants present.
A board member at the Taylor School District meeting on Wednesday urged the board to demand timely access to documents tied to the athletic‑field project and said the materials delivered to trustees were 62 days old and incomplete.
The board member said the board had not received bids, alternatives or other documents and warned the missing materials could relate to roughly $1,000,000 in potential cost implications. “I think I might even bring a resolution at that time that the board be given this information in a timely manner … I think I might even bring a resolution,” the board member said, urging prompt disclosure and additional detail.
Chair responded that the athletic‑field budget issue will be placed on the next agenda and that consultants (identified by the administration as Saxy and Barton Mallow) will be present to answer questions. “They will absolutely be here,” the chair said, committing staff and consultants to provide additional information to trustees.
The board did not take immediate action on the athletic‑field financing at the March meeting; trustees agreed to schedule a follow‑up discussion at the next meeting and consider a resolution if requested by a trustee. The item is listed for the board’s April agenda and board members advised staff to provide the missing materials in advance of that session.
