Board flagged potential bleacher safety issues during facilities update
Summary
Staff said bleacher inspections may fail and noted missing railings and potential safety hazards; board discussed repair costs and whether to include fixes in a future bond or address immediately.
During facilities updates, staff raised concerns about the condition of the gym bleachers and related railings, saying the system might not pass inspection.
“We just read your email you sent me that said they wanted to inspect it. Well Yeah. They didn't pass,” Brian said, explaining that the bleacher system could be a safety issue. A board member added that the lack of railing is a health and safety concern and urged assessing costs versus scheduling repairs in a later bond project.
Members discussed whether to patch the issue now or plan a more complete replacement in a future capital project; no motion was made. Staff said they would further investigate inspection results and return with cost estimates and options for repair or replacement.
