Board approves revised 2025–26 facilities list, opts for two-classroom modular at Ferguson Elementary
Summary
The Klamath County School District board approved a revised 2025–26 maintenance-only facilities plan that replaces a proposed eight-classroom addition with a two-classroom modular at Ferguson Elementary. Vote recorded with one abstention.
The board on March 13 approved a revised list of maintenance-oriented facilities projects for 2025–26 that includes a two-classroom modular addition at Ferguson Elementary in place of an earlier eight-classroom addition concept. Janet Melsness, Director of Business Services, presented the revised list and supporting materials included in the packet; the board will revisit the item if additional details are required for funding or design.
The motion passed with three yeas, no recorded nays, and one abstention (Marc Staunton abstained, stating that joining by Zoom limited his ability to fully understand the financial consequences of the revision). Board member Jill O'Donnell raised concerns about Stearns Elementary cafeteria/gym capacity and asked staff to research expansion solutions; the motion as approved covers maintenance projects only, not new construction.
