Summary

Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board the architect has prepared initial plans; the board agreed to proceed with design development so a construction-ready design set is available if the district later decides to move ahead with a high school addition.

Superintendent Brian Rentsch briefed the board on preliminary architect meetings for a potential high‑school addition and asked whether staff should proceed to develop a design set. Rentsch framed the work as preparatory — moving design beyond conceptual stage so the district would be ready to proceed if and when it secures funding. Board members agreed to continue with the process.

Rentsch discussed the fiscal context for the consolidation decision and referenced the use of 2020 levy proceeds and ESSER funds as part of district budgeting. He also listed several state bills under consideration by legislators (for example, HB 455, HB 625 and SB311) that could affect district operations; no board action on state legislation was taken during the meeting.
