District reviews draft Facilities Master Plan tied to Measure M; HVAC prioritized
Summary
Consultants presented a draft Facilities Needs Assessment and Facilities Master Plan required under Proposition 2; the district flagged HVAC upgrades as a top priority with preliminary budgets and a three-year spending window for the first bond sale.
The Shasta Union High School District Governing Board heard a presentation Oct. 21 on a draft Facilities Needs Assessment (FNA) that has been incorporated into a Facilities Master Plan (FMP) required under Proposition 2 for state construction funding. David Flores introduced STACKED Inc. Chief Operating Officer Vijay Jayachandran, who said the FNA "has been created by a team of engineers based on data they have collected by surveying all facilities." The presentation included a heat map of critical needs and a draft list of first-round projects.
Flores told the Board the dollar figures presented are early budget estimates and that architects will prepare plans before the District goes out to bid. He said the District "has three years to spend the first sale of bond dollars" and identified HVAC systems districtwide as a priority, adding that he is "hopeful the project can be completed before the 2026-2027 school year." Jayachandran and staff emphasized that some sections of the FMP still lack data while on-site assessments continue and described the FMP as a living document that the District can update as projects are completed.
Board discussion cataloged several site-specific priorities brought up during the presentation, including security fencing to be coordinated with site administrators, upgrades to baseball and softball lighting and dugouts, and Transportation Yard expansion to accommodate an increased fleet of buses and vehicles. The Board reached general consensus not to pursue an upgrade of the Board Room at this time and asked staff to continue refining project lists and costs.
What happens next: the District will direct approved architects to develop plans for prioritized projects and then issue bids. Final cost estimates will be refined through design and procurement.
