Board members urge faster action on 10-year facility plan as Elementary School 27 falls behind schedule
Summary
Board members warned Elementary School 27 is roughly 13 months behind the 10-year plan and urged staff to select an architect and place the project on the next agenda to avoid overcrowding in coming years.
Board members pressed staff to accelerate work on the district’s 10‑year facility construction plan after one member said Elementary School 27 is approximately 13 months behind schedule.
A board member walked through the plan’s timeline, saying project approval was expected in July/August 2025 and that, under the original schedule, the school would have opened in August 2028. He warned that if the project approval and architect selection do not move forward promptly the district risks overcrowding in 18 months to two years and asked staff to bring the architect-selection item to the next meeting’s agenda.
Another board member voiced support for moving quickly, noting that locating land and producing design work takes time and that earlier action reduces the risk of further delay. No formal vote was taken; the request was made verbally at the study session and board members asked for the item to appear on the next meeting agenda.
