Summary

Board members and staff discussed planning a field-lighting ceremony and centennial celebrations, an offer of community funding for festivities, and summer construction activity at campuses funded by the 2025 bond.

Committee members and staff discussed plans for a field-lighting "flip the switch" event and centennial celebrations tied to bond-funded campus work. A community member offered donor funding to support events; district staff said they plan to standardize a template for celebrations and will work with school principals on site-specific elements. The committee and staff identified September as a likely window for a lighting event.

Board members also raised recovery of a time capsule at a high school and asked staff to coordinate with volunteers; staff agreed to work with school leadership and said contractors previously involved in masonry work had offered assistance. Separately, staff reported that bond-funded summer construction is well underway across multiple campuses and that residents will begin to see signage indicating bond dollars at work.

These items were informational; no actions or votes were taken. Staff said they will coordinate offline with community volunteers for event planning and report back on any mayor or school calendar constraints before confirming dates.
