Board hears bond construction progress, announces summer shutdown and ribbon-cutting
Summary
Board members reported progress on bond-funded construction — new bus loop, expanded parking and PAC lobby work — announced the high school will be closed for the summer, and reminded the community of upcoming graduations and a ribbon-cutting for the Michael Smith facility.
Board members reported that bond-funded work behind the high school is progressing, with a new bus loop and expanded parking taking shape and footings and some walls in place for the PAC lobby expansion. The board noted that interior projects were started earlier than planned to keep the schedule on track.
A board member said science rooms are finished but that some furniture remains to be installed; tiling is expected to be completed by mid‑July. The board announced the high school will be closed for the entire summer with no access for staff or students; summer school, conditioning and practices have been relocated to other buildings.
Members thanked staff and contractors (named in the transcript) for accelerating work and noted planning is underway for fall staff development and teacher moves between buildings. The board also reminded the public of upcoming graduations, an ISD tech-center ceremony next week, and a ribbon-cutting at noon Friday for the Michael Smith facility.
The transcript lists multiple acknowledgements — including thanks to Dr. Larson, Jim (for a donated soccer board), Kim (for closing a contract), and to staff involved in a new sixth-grade schedule — but does not provide engineering timelines, contract values, or specific completion dates beyond the mid‑July tiling estimate.
