Summary

Facilities staff reported multiple upcoming projects: Pleasant Acres parking/front drive requiring core sampling and likely costing at least $300,000 (with $50,000 state grant available), J.W. Eater Annex gym floor replacement estimated at $100,000, and Northview gym floor refinish at about $40,000; secure entry work for Northview is also planned.

The Board received an update on facilities projects and estimated costs for repairs and renovations across district buildings.

Superintendent Dr. Woods (presenting the facilities update) said Pleasant Acres parking and front drive work will require site work, core sampling and open bidding; the district has $50,000 in state grant funds earmarked but likely faces a project cost of at least $300,000. He noted timing tradeoffs: doing the work in the summer versus after school starts could affect cost and complexity.

Other projects noted included a complete tear‑out and replacement of the J.W. Eater Annex gym floor, with preliminary quotes around $100,000 and a likely purchasing co‑op procurement; Northview’s gym floor refinish is estimated at about $40,000. Northview is also the district’s only school without an updated secure entry; the district’s architect will prepare sketches for a limited secure‑entry remodel to avoid disrupting the entire front office area, with an anticipated target of summer 2026 for work.

The facilities update included contract and procurement notes for moving to bidding and potential cooperative purchasing on major items. No formal project approvals or contract awards were recorded in the March 31 minutes; further procurement steps were described as in preparation for summer work.
