Mansfield School District reports $300,000 fencing grant plus ADA and PUD awards to fund facility upgrades
Summary
Superintendent Bruce Todd reported that the district secured a $300,000 safety and security grant for perimeter fencing, a $150,000 ADA grant for Ag classroom/shop accessibility, and a $100,000 Douglas County PUD grant (with $80,000 already received) to replace windows and doors.
At the April 28 meeting Superintendent Bruce Todd summarized several grant awards intended to support district facilities. He said the district was awarded a $300,000 safety and security grant to complete fencing around the school grounds and that staff are soliciting bids for work to start in spring or summer. Todd also reported receipt of a $150,000 ADA grant to widen the Ag classroom-to-shop door and install automated door openers, and a 2026 Douglas County PUD grant for $100,000 to replace windows and doors, of which $80,000 was received in February and the remaining $20,000 will be released upon project completion.
The superintendent listed planned capital items tied to a $38,000 planning grant for the next biennium, including doors, windows, classroom cabinets, flooring, lockers, bleachers, weight room upgrades and a stage curtain. Board materials indicate staff are preparing bids and schedules; the minutes do not record specific contractors or timelines beyond the seasonal target for work to begin.
