Summary

Administrators said more than $1 million in deferred maintenance remains (multiple roofs and turf replacements), and framed those needs as safety and facility priorities that could factor into future bond decisions.

District leaders told attendees they are tracking more than $1,000,000 in deferred maintenance across several buildings and that major repairs are coming due. Kim listed five buildings with aging roofs, including Mark Twain, and said the cost for a single roof replacement could be "upwards of $1,000,000 or more." She also warned that the football field turf will likely need replacement in three to four years, at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars.

Kim framed these capital needs as part of the district—s long-term planning and bond conversation: if a local bond is not passed, the district must document and prioritize facility work tied to student safety. Administrators suggested some tradeoffs (for example, facility reconfigurations and potential relocation of leased programs) to free funds for staffing and maintenance.
