Chico Unified continues emergency resolution to speed repairs after fire at temporary housing site
Summary
The board unanimously approved continuing Resolution 1692-25 to expedite work on fire-damaged temporary housing, including selecting a contractor, structural assessment and securing the roof; staff said impacts to student programming will be minimal.
The Chico Unified School District board voted unanimously July 30 to continue Resolution 1692-25, a measure staff said is intended to accelerate repairs and temporary housing set-up after a fire-damaged facility.
District staff told the board that the damaged building has been stripped to the studs, contents removed, and that a structural engineer is working with architects on redesign and rebuild plans. Staff said they are moving forward with selecting a contractor and are arranging temporary roof covering to protect the facility before fall and winter weather. Portable classrooms (portables) will be used temporarily, and staff reported they expect only minimal impact to student experiences; some specialized equipment and tables were salvaged for use in temporary spaces.
Member Robinson moved to continue Resolution 1692-25; Member Hayes seconded. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote.
Staff did not present a contract award at the meeting; rather, the resolution authorizes expedited procurement and preparation so the temporary units are ready before the start of school. The board did not specify a contractor, contract value, or an exact timeline for completion at the meeting.
