Summary
Operations & Transportation Director Rob Gleeson told the board the district has prioritized life-safety, security, building improvements and athletics projects; staff categorized needs by location, type, priority and estimated cost to guide planning.
The St. Johns Public Schools Board of Education heard a presentation on facility priorities at a Feb. 26 workshop. Operations & Transportation Director Rob Gleeson presented a district-wide list of needs that he said focused on life-safety and security, general building improvements and athletics/activities across district buildings.
"Mr. Gleeson presented an overview of the district's prioritized facility needs, which include projects related to life safety and security, building improvements, and athletics/activities across district buildings." The presentation explained that projects were organized by location, type and priority level with estimated costs attached to guide future planning and decision-making. Superintendent Dr. Anthony Berthiaume and other district staff were present for the briefing.
Board members followed with questions about how projects were ranked and about next steps for advancing high-priority items. The workshop discussion did not include dollar totals for the district's prioritized projects; estimated costs and specific funding amounts were not specified in the transcript. The board did not take a formal vote on projects during the workshop; staff and the board discussed financing options and a potential timeline for any ballot proposal.
