Board highlights Forbes Pre-K building as operational, plans dedication around September meeting
Summary
Superintendent reported the Forbes Pre-K building is open and operational, shared photos and thanked staff and Champion Construction; the board discussed scheduling a dedication around a September board meeting.
Polk County Schools Superintendent Dr. Schweitzer said the Forbes Pre-K building is open, operational and receiving positive feedback from staff and students.
"The Forbes Pre K Building is up running and operational and looks fantastic," Dr. Schweitzer said, showing photos of completed interior and exterior work and thanking school staff and Champion Construction for their work.
He described energy- and lighting-related features (noting an LED lighting setup that can run fixtures efficiently) and invited board members to visit the site. Dr. Schweitzer proposed scheduling a formal dedication or groundbreaking event in September timed with a board meeting so the district can recognize partners including Head Start and the Forbes Foundation.
Board members expressed enthusiasm and agreed to plan for a dedication event around the September meeting date; staff will confirm timing and logistics before the board’s next meeting.
