Board hears initial engineering review plans for upper‑gym bleacher removal and space reconfiguration
Summary
District staff described preliminary plans to remove upper bleachers in the upper gym and add a curtain to create more usable space. The board was told demolition quotes exist but architects and engineers must confirm safety, railing adjustments, and capacity before any budget request.
Board members discussed preliminary plans to remove the upper bleachers in the district's upper gym and to install a retractable curtain to create additional usable floor space.
A board member described the plan as removing the upper bleachers and installing a curtain that could be retracted for games. Staff said they have collected demolition quotes but need Kohler architects and engineers to determine whether the railing needs to be extended and whether other structural work is required to ensure safety and seating‑capacity compliance. No final decision or budget motion was made; staff characterized this stage as information‑gathering.
Board members said they had not personally inspected the space and asked staff to bring more detailed engineering input and cost estimates before the board considers any budget request or action. The matter will return to the board once staff can produce engineering guidance and a formal budget recommendation.
