Summary

Consultants presented a draft facilities master plan with site‑level priorities and an HL Construction estimate of about $1.6 billion in 2026 dollars to modernize aging buildings, replace portables, upgrade utilities and expand outdoor learning and pathway facilities.

Consultants from LPA Design Studios and the district presented a year‑long facilities master plan update that inventories campus needs and proposes phased modernization, new construction and site upgrades. The plan reflects input from site committees, staff and more than 1,800 survey respondents and includes proposals for classroom modernization, permanent replacements for aging portables, outdoor learning spaces and improved food‑service facilities.

LPA and the district shared a high‑level cost estimate produced by HL Construction Management: "a grand total of pretty close to $1,600,000,000" in 2026 dollars for the full set of proposed projects, the presenters said. Consultants emphasized that the total is a planning figure intended to guide prioritization; they recommended staged work, use of state matching programs (Prop 2 / School Facilities Program) and a potential bond or other funding mixes rather than attempting to execute every item at once.
