Operations committee told to pare $58.1M FY27 facilities list down to about $33M; board to submit priorities
Summary
Staff presented a five‑year facilities plan showing an FY27 capital list of $58,127,000 and asked board members to provide three courses of action or priorities so the plan can be narrowed toward a $33M working target for FY27; timeline: board input by May 3 for the May operations packet.
Staff presented the facilities master plan and a five‑year capital improvement list that currently shows an FY27 total of $58,127,000. The list includes large items (for future years) such as replacement buildings and several district projects; staff said the FY27 number will need to be narrowed to a practical funding target — staff suggested $33,000,000 based on available planning and a $30,000,000 allocation from the financial planner plus $5,000,000 in excess capital funds.
To help the board prioritize, staff asked members to propose three courses of action (COAs) or priority lists: one approach could favor safety/security projects, another could favor academic support, and a third could be board member priorities. Staff said principals, maintenance, project managers and facility condition assessments feed the list and that practical sequencing depends on which buildings can be closed for summer work so multiple projects can be grouped efficiently.
Board members suggested touring buildings, soliciting principal input and avoiding balkanization of requests across 33 schools. Staff proposed a deadline to receive board member suggestions by May 3 so the operations committee can compile recommended COAs for the May 13 meeting and for board consideration in June.
What’s next: staff will compile the board’s submissions, provide three draft COAs and present the narrowed FY27 package to the operations committee for approval and subsequent board action.
