Summary

Facilities director Rochelle Cox reported progress on the stadium remodel (soil testing for lead), upcoming delivery of sand for the field, pool renovation with new family restrooms, and signed contracts for VISTA remodels at the middle school and Autism Center.

Rochelle Cox, who oversees construction projects for the district, presented a visual update on ongoing facility work including the stadium remodel, pool project, and classroom renovations.

Cox said contaminated soil was identified during excavation and the site team applied a treatment product; soil testing results were expected the next day to determine whether the material can be sent to landfill. She described planned operational steps — including bringing in large quantities of sand for field work and staging the job to keep student athletics activities functional — and previewed pool and middle‑school classroom improvements, family restroom installations, and signed contracts for two VISTA remodels. The board asked clarifying questions and expressed enthusiasm for the upgrades.
