Sweetwater ISD trustees say bond projects on schedule; board eyes $2 million in leftover funds
Summary
Superintendent Reggy Spencer told the board the CTE building remains on track, furniture delivery is expected the week of July 28 and the gym should finish near Oct. 1. He said the district may have about $2 million in leftover bond funds and listed options including turf at $7.90 per square foot and parking-lot paving.
The Sweetwater Independent School District Board of Trustees heard a construction and bond update at its June 24 meeting. Superintendent Reggy Spencer reported that the CTE building competition is on schedule, furniture is expected the week of July 28 and the gym’s completion is now projected closer to Oct. 1.
Spencer told trustees the district may have roughly $2 million remaining from the bond program and outlined several candidate uses for that money: installing turf around the backside of the gym and other areas (a bid of $7.90 per square foot was presented), constructing a retaining wall at the tennis courts to address recurring flooding, selecting glass options for the gym entry, and paving the west parking lot to replace rock and caliche surface. Board members discussed the options and asked questions about costs and timing.
The trustees did not take a formal vote on any of these follow-up projects; Spencer indicated staff will return with more detailed cost estimates and recommendations before the board commits funds.
