Mesquite ISD board approves construction methods and schematic designs for two high schools and transportation center
Summary
At its April 13 meeting the Mesquite ISD board approved methods of construction for Mesquite and Poteet high schools and the district transportation center, and approved schematic designs that the district says will remove portable classrooms and improve campus circulation.
The Mesquite ISD Board of Trustees on April 13 approved the method of construction for Mesquite High School, Poteet High School and renovations and an addition to the district transportation center.
Board member Dr. Rivera summarized the action and urged residents to view the district's full presentation online, saying, "I will not do it justice if I explain it," and encouraging the public to "log in to the site and actually watch the presentation so you can get the full concept of what we're doing." He said the schematic plans approved by the board are intended to remove portable classrooms at Poteet and Mesquite high schools and to improve circulation inside and outside both campuses.
The board approved all three construction methods in a single action and later approved schematic designs for Mesquite High School and Poteet High School. The district did not provide vote tallies or a detailed cost breakdown in the meeting recap presented at the session.
The board presentation is available through the district's public materials; Dr. Rivera directed viewers to that presentation for project renderings and a fuller explanation of scope and phasing. The meeting record does not specify timelines, funding sources or contractor selections for the projects.
The board adjourned following the construction and schematic design approvals.
