Summary

After a review of district building conditions, the Operations Committee asked administrators to estimate maintenance costs for Priority 4 items, determine short-term feasibility for projects like playgrounds and doors, and provide referendum data from the strategic planning process.

The Operations Committee heard an overview of the current state of district buildings from Assistant Superintendent Ryan Berry. Committee members used the update to press for quantifiable next steps: estimates of ongoing maintenance costs for Priority 4 items, per-item costing for RTMS Priority 4, short-term project feasibility and cost estimates (playgrounds, doors, windows), and strategic-planning referendum data to inform funding strategy.

Committee members framed these requests as necessary before committing to larger capital expenditures or a possible bond or referendum. Administration was asked to return with more precise figures and a clearly staged option that focuses on maintenance and refresh work that could be completed in the current fiscal year.
