Board hears early bond facilities update, including large aquatic center plans
Summary
Board members reported a site visit to the district's bond facilities work, describing poured footings, lifted truck-weight restrictions and removal of about 3,000 truckloads of dirt; early plans show a much larger multipurpose pool and potential robotics space.
Board members updated the Forest Hills Board of Education on early-stage work under the district's bond program, including a tour of the future aquatic center site. Chair (S1) described the construction staging and said crews have "taken away 3,000 truckloads of dirt already," reported that footings have been poured and said the pool location and scale were already visible from the site.
Superintendent Edel added that staff viewed initial floor plans showing expanded multipurpose space and potential additions: "The multipurpose capabilities are about quadrupling," she said, and the designs discussed include space that could be adapted for robotics and other programming. District members emphasized the planning is preliminary and that budget and final room assignments are still to be decided.
