The Pleasant Hill SD 1 superintendent reported July 23 that district facilities work is progressing and that the district will launch a capital campaign to help pay for a new track.
At the board meeting, the superintendent reviewed a recent inspection of spray‑foam insulation at one building, saying drywall installation and cabinet deliveries are scheduled this week and next. The superintendent also described exterior work across several buildings, noting that removing old fascia has uncovered additional dry rot and roofing issues that will require further repairs and budget adjustments.
The superintendent announced a back‑to‑school community event set for Aug. 29 from 5 to 8 p.m., which will include family activities and a fundraising kickoff for the proposed track project. "We set a fundraising goal for $200,000," the superintendent said during the report, and noted the district maintains a reserve account of $500,000.
The superintendent gave rough cost estimates for related work, saying the building 'shell' is "about $500,000 to $550,000" and that the track is "somewhere around $200,000 to $250,000." The superintendent presented plans for a capital campaign and a donor committee to seek contributions to cover costs beyond district reserves.
The superintendent also reviewed administrative calendar items: a board retreat planned for Aug. 19 (board charge at 5:30 p.m., regular meeting at 7 p.m.), staff in‑service on Aug. 28 beginning at 8 a.m., and the OSBA annual convention Nov. 7–9. The Education Foundation will speak to staff at in‑service and board members will give a welcome, the superintendent said.
The meeting included routine approvals earlier in the agenda. The board moved and seconded approval of the June 17 minutes and later approved a personnel action described in the record as a resolution; both motions passed unanimously.
The board confirmed its next meeting for Aug. 19 in the community room, with the board charge beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
