Board hears bond construction progress; PAC, high school renovations and bus garage work continue
Summary
District staff reported the bond program is over 50% complete, with roughly $6.6 million of construction remaining for 2026; PAC construction is planned to start in spring with high-school interior work and playground projects scheduled for summer 2025.
District staff delivered a bond-construction update outlining progress, near-term schedules and outstanding work across multiple construction packages. The presenter said the district is "just over 50% done with construction" and estimated the program will leave "roughly $6.6 Million worth of construction to complete in that 2026 year." Staff said an estimated $0.5 million of work is anticipated next calendar year for remaining elementary editions and high‑school projects.
Work at the high school includes science-lab additions, a multipurpose space and a weight room; brick and interior finishes were reported as progressing and utility work (waterlines, rooftop units) was being installed. Staff said they are starting conversations about furniture and equipment and aim to complete key pieces "prior to the 2026 school year for the elementary school editions."
Photos and site updates were shown for renovated elementary bathrooms and portions of the bus garage; staff noted the bus garage civil work required coordination with the city for underground retention and water connections and that some soil and undercut issues affected scheduling.
The PAC (performing arts center) entrance rendering and finish selection were discussed; staff said they expect to begin PAC construction in spring and continue through December, with interior high-school renovations and playground work slated for summer 2025. The presenter described a planned award schedule with a board contract award anticipated at a December meeting for the next set of high-school interior packages.
No formal district action on bond program funding was taken at this meeting; the update was provided to inform the board and the public about construction sequencing and upcoming procurement steps.
