Principals raise water, restroom and gym concerns at some campuses
Summary
Principals and trustees discussed lack of running water and restroom access at a campus gym and gym renovations at a middle school; the board asked staff to obtain cost estimates for repairs and to coordinate with police for dismissal traffic.
During campus presentations trustees and principals raised facility problems affecting student operations.
The GRG Early Childhood principal said the campus has "no running water" in the gym and that students currently must cross the street to use restrooms; trustees asked staff to get estimates for plumbing work. At Carlos Truan Middle School, Principal Jessica Mata described a gym renovation that includes added railings, plywood and painting to address worn bleachers and chipping paint.
Board members and principals discussed temporary operational workarounds — such as using other campus spaces for tours, scheduling staff to help with restroom supervision and coordinating extra patrol with local police to address traffic conflicts during dismissal. The transcript records a request from the board to obtain an estimate for plumbing and a direction to work with local police departments on dismissal scheduling and patrol support.
