RCSD approves $819 million facilities master plan; Measure S funds air-conditioning upgrades
Summary
The district approved a long-range facilities master plan totaling more than $819 million and plans immediate work funded in part by $298 million from Measure S, including permanent air-conditioning upgrades at several campuses with construction set for summer 2026.
The superintendent's update reported that the board approved a long-term facilities master plan that outlines more than $819 million in repairs, upgrades and modernization over the next decade after a year of community input, campus assessments and enrollment studies.
The presenter said $298 million in bond funding from Measure S will help the district shift from planning to action. The first major project under the plan is a phase of permanent air-conditioning upgrades at Clifford, Kennedy and Orion Alternative Schools; construction is scheduled for summer 2026. The update noted HVAC work is already underway this summer at Adelante Selby, Selby, Hoover, Roosevelt and Taft campuses, and said more than 300 classrooms currently rely on portable AC units.
Superintendent Dr. Baker was quoted in the update thanking voters and calling the plan a shared vision for safe, inspiring schools. The update did not include project-level contracts or bid details; those items were not specified and are expected to appear in future staff reports.
