Board hears multiple facilities repairs and grant updates including alarm upgrades and a large infrastructure application
Summary
Trustees reviewed proposed repairs and equipment upgrades—alarm-system replacement ($28,004.23), gym refinishing (~$7,000), Hoover boiler repair (not to exceed $5,024), Webb temporary roof repair (~$6,500), and walk‑in refrigerator work—and staff summarized grant applications including a Treasury reimbursement request (~$150,000), a $250,000 SRO safety-dog grant application and a competitive $60 million infrastructure request.
During buildings-and-grounds and finance reports, administrators presented a series of facilities repairs and funding plans and reported on multiple grant applications.
Facilities: Staff outlined a proposal to update alarm systems across district buildings to cellular monitoring and to replace outdated equipment at a quoted cost of $28,004.23 to be paid from sinking funds. Gym-floor refinishing for Hoover and Webb was estimated at a little over $7,000, and a temporary Webb roof repair after windstorm damage was estimated at $6,500 while engineers assess whether a full replacement is needed. A Hoover boiler repair was cited at not to exceed $5,024 and a junior-high hot-water tank replacement was quoted near $1,825. The high-school walk‑in refrigerator will receive major component replacement (evaporator, condenser, refrigerant lines, doors and electrical work) to reduce recurring repairs; staff said that work would be charged to the food-service fund.
Finance and grants: Staff said they will submit invoices to a Treasury Financial Reimbursement Assistance Program and expect the district's minimum reimbursement to be around $150,000; they plan to include audit and other eligible costs to meet thresholds. Staff also filed a competitive SRO safety-dog grant (requesting $250,000 to cover both SROs and noting dogs must be leased rather than purchased) and an infrastructure grant application that listed approximately $60,000,000 in needs (roofs, HVAC, windows) though staff acknowledged the full amount is unlikely and recommended applying broadly. Staff reported receiving a 27l compensation allocation totaling just over $400,000 distributed prorata to eligible staff (about $550 take-home for a full-year employee).
Trustees asked for budget spreadsheets and sinking-fund balances; staff agreed to provide updated financial sheets and timeline details at the next meeting. No formal expenditures were approved in the meeting notes; staff said items will return for board approval as needed.
