Consultants deliver draft facilities assessment; board urged to use it as a tool for a master plan
Summary
ISG presented a draft facilities‑assessment with per‑building breakouts, priority 1 life‑safety items, cost estimate structure, and an education‑adequacy supplement based on a 51‑response staff survey; consultants recommended a master‑planning next step to sequence projects and budget accordingly.
ISG consultants walked the Stanley County School District board through a draft facilities‑assessment report and a companion education‑adequacy summary, explaining how the document prioritizes items (1 = immediate, 2 = emerging, 3 = long‑term) and breaks costs down by building and system.
"Priority 1…are things that are life‑safety related or water issues, like roof or exterior walls," an ISG consultant (S12) explained, and the report flags specific mechanical units, roofing, and gym systems that require near‑term attention. The consultants included photos and itemized recommendations and advised the board to use the assessment as a tool to plan a facility master plan that sequences projects and links them to budgets.
Consultants also summarized the education‑adequacy survey (51 anonymous responses) that identified recurring themes: traffic flow at drop‑off/pick‑up, electrical outlet shortages, undersized classrooms relative to modern standards, uneven floors in the high school and limited confidential staff meeting spaces. Trustees discussed whether to proceed to a master‑planning phase (suggested 10‑year outlook) and how that work would involve a small district facility committee, superintendent and building representatives.
Consultants offered to return for detailed walk‑throughs and to finalize the draft after the board's review; no vote was taken. The board agreed to review the draft and to indicate any requested revisions before ISG finalizes the report.
