District to begin phone, security and field projects as facilities master plan nears completion
Summary
Superintendent Ruby Bod told the board the district has begun phone‑system and field rejuvenation projects, will resurface preschool playgrounds and locker rooms, and will roll out a facilities master plan to guide future capital investments; board-approved capital transfers and authorizations will support the work.
Superintendent Ruby Bod told the Estes Park School District R-3 board on June 22 that multiple facilities projects are underway and that a facilities master plan launched in November is nearing completion.
Ruby said a districtwide phone‑system replacement has started and will install new phones in every classroom and office. She also described irrigation and field rejuvenation work, a preschool playground resurfacing using the same material as a recent project, and resurfaced high‑school locker‑room floors with additional locker‑room and bathroom renovations to be completed in July. A new security prox‑card system is scheduled to be installed districtwide.
The superintendent said the facilities master plan, developed with RB Plus Architects and Dynamic Project Management and guided by stakeholder engagement and a facilities committee, will be presented to the board at the August work session. "It'll really help with our planning in the future and be a real great document and guidance for the board for you to make decisions," she said.
Staff also identified capital priorities likely to be funded from fund 43, including potential vehicle purchases to support transportation needs, elementary‑school carpeting and track resurfacing. Brian said staff budgeted an estimated $1.5 million transfer into capital reserves for next year but warned midyear audit results could change available spending authority.
Board members heard that asphalt work was scheduled to begin the week following the meeting and that the district is sequencing some projects between the current and next fiscal year depending on timing of expenditures. The master‑plan recommendations will guide long‑term maintenance, safety and educational‑adequacy investments.
The board approved the consent agenda that included budget transfers and capital authorizations; staff will report at future work sessions as project scopes and timing are finalized.
