Board weighs $500,000 LTFM funds, $75,000 state grant for locker rooms or single‑user restrooms
Summary
District staff presented two facilities options: use $500,000 in Long‑Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) funds for cosmetic locker‑room fixes or pursue single‑user restrooms using LTFM plus a $75,000 state grant; full locker‑room renovation is estimated at $3–4 million. Board direction was requested; construction would begin spring/summer 2026.
District Facilities Director Dr. Troy Urdahl told the School Board the district has set aside $500,000 from its LTFM budget and has secured a $75,000 state grant that could be used to build single‑user restrooms.
Urdahl laid out two paths: use the available funds now for cosmetic locker‑room and restroom updates, noting that a full renovation of locker rooms is estimated at $3 million to $4 million and would not be covered by the current LTFM allocation; or prioritize single‑user restroom construction, which staff estimated would cost between $500,000 and $800,000 including the state grant. Urdahl said either project would move into planning and design in spring or summer 2026 if approved. The board did not adopt a final decision that night and requested guidance on priorities and next steps.
