Residents press district on site, timeline, transport and transparency at bond presentation
Summary
Community members asked whether the Chandler Avenue site sits over landfill or woods, how long construction would take, whether students would need new transportation, and when the district will provide an itemized cost breakdown; officials deferred technical timelines and financial details to bond counsel and finance staff at the August session.
Several residents used the public Q&A to press for details. One asked whether the Chandler Avenue building would sit on the wooded side or on a landfill; Dr. Fisher replied the plan places the building on the forested side. Another asked how long construction would take; Dr. Fisher said that timeline questions would be best answered by bond counsel and architects at the August meeting.
Residents also asked about transportation for students in distant wards and whether the district had included additional bus service; Dr. Fisher said transportation was not included in the current plan and that future conversations could address equity for far‑side neighborhoods. Multiple attendees requested an itemized breakdown of projected costs; Dr. Fisher said the district's finance team and bond counsel will publish an itemized schedule at the Aug. 18 session and directed residents to the website tax‑impact calculator in the meantime.
