District outlines 14,000 sq. ft. addition to house new CTE labs, plans fire/EMT and expanded welding programs
Summary
A presenter told the board the district plans a two-year, roughly $14 million southwest addition to add two high-bay labs, four classrooms and expanded career-technical offerings including fire/EMT and a second welding program.
Board members heard a facilities-and-programs update describing a planned southwest building addition of roughly 14,000 square feet to accommodate expanded career-technical education. Speaker 4 said the project will add two high-bay labs and four classrooms connected by a hallway to existing cosmetology labs, and estimated the project timeline at about two years with an estimated cost of $14,000,000.
Speaker 4 said the district plans to start new programs in fire/EMT and add a second welding program to meet student interest (the district currently has about 70 welding students), and that district leaders expect sufficient enrollment to support two welding tracks. The presenter also noted the district recently held a 50th-anniversary celebration for technical programs and reported that student discipline has declined following new cell-phone policies.
The board took the report as informational and did not publish project procurement details during the meeting.
