RCSD approves contracts to design $22 million HVAC upgrades at two campuses
Summary
At its Sept. 10 meeting the RCSD board approved contracts for architectural and pre-construction services to plan Measure S-funded HVAC upgrades worth $22 million, targeting Clifford Kennedy and Orion Alternative Schools with construction planned for summer 2026.
The RCSD Superintendent Update said that at its Sept. 10 board of trustees meeting the board approved contracts for architectural and pre-construction services to plan permanent HVAC upgrades at Clifford Kennedy and Orion Alternative Schools.
The presenter said the project, funded by Measure S, is a $22 million effort to replace outdated systems, add air conditioning, and improve air quality and energy efficiency. The update said the first phase of HVAC work took place during summer 2025 at four campuses and that the planned permanent upgrades are slated for summer 2026.
Why it matters: Replacing outdated HVAC systems affects classroom comfort, indoor air quality and energy costs across campuses. The district identified HVAC upgrades as a top priority at the start of the prior school year and said the Measure S oversight committee will review spending.
Action details: The update reported the board approved the design and pre-construction contracts on Sept. 10; the presenter did not provide the contractor names, the contract amounts, or the vote tally.
What comes next: The district said architectural and pre-construction work will inform final project scope and schedules and that the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee will monitor Measure S spending on projects such as these.
