Board hears Measure S progress: $46M completed, $130M committed and priorities for $102M unassigned
Summary
Superintendent and deputy superintendent presented Measure S results including completed fencing, LED lighting and roofing projects, $46 million in completed work, $130 million committed and about $102 million unassigned; board agreed to publish an updated priority list and heard renderings for a new Innovation & Design building at RUHS.
The Redondo Beach Unified School District provided a public update on Measure S bond projects at its June board meeting, including recently completed work, projects in progress and a proposed reprioritization of remaining funds.
Superintendent Dr. Nicole Wesley and Deputy Superintendent Dr. Ned Alpurn told the board that, as of the end of April, the district had completed the first wave of projects and continued to advance roofing, HVAC and modular‑classroom work at multiple sites. The district said it has completed roughly $46 million in projects, has about $130 million in committed projects under contract, and identified approximately $102 million in remaining, unassigned funds to allocate across prioritized phases.
Completed work highlighted included districtwide fencing and privacy screens, an LED lighting conversion, initial roofing phases and technology deployments. Projects in progress noted by staff included roofing phase two, modular classroom replacements at Lincoln and Madison, HVAC phase one, and design work for a new Innovation and Design building at RUHS (the former "bingo building" on Diamond Street).
Dr. Alpurn described a phased prioritization matrix proposed by staff: category 1 projects are high priority (to be completed), category 2 are also high priority, and category 3 projects are those that may depend on cost increases and could be deferred. He said the board workshop on May 7 produced the draft phase list now recommended for public posting as the board's current priority order.
The board reviewed recent architect renderings for RUHS, proposed Seahawk Bowl concourse and restroom reconfigurations aimed at better crowding and supervision, and modular classroom renderings and playground plans for elementary sites. Board members had clarifying questions about sequencing, the definition of phase categories and plans to post an updated project priority listing on the district website.
The board voted to authorize an architect agreement with PBK Architects for Jefferson Elementary modular replacement as an action item later in the meeting.
What's next: Staff will post the updated priority list on the district website and continue design and contracting cycles for the approved projects; further board approvals will be required as construction contracts and purchase orders are presented.
