District outlines grant plans and facility upgrades including HVAC, windows and gym work
Summary
Superintendent Todd told trustees the district has applied for multiple grants (PUD $464,000, SDMG, Urgent Repair) to fund window and door replacement, HVAC and plumbing upgrades, ADA improvements, and gym floor repair; work includes contractor contributions to reduce district costs.
District leadership reviewed a package of potential capital projects and grant funding options at the Aug. 26 meeting. Superintendent Bruce Todd listed grants under consideration, including a 2026 Douglas County PUD grant application for $464,000 to replace windows and exterior doors; the board packet also referenced Small District Modernization Grant (SDMG) and Urgent Repair Grant opportunities to address HVAC replacement, plumbing, ADA improvements, roof recoating and gym floor repair.
Todd said some renovation costs would be largely covered by contractors in specific repair scopes, reducing the district's direct expense. The packet also outlined exterior drainage repairs and an ADA bathroom in the AG shop as priorities. Trustees reviewed contractor fencing quotes and asked staff to continue budgeting and grant applications.
