Crestwood board votes to apply for up to $5 million facilities grant for high-school air conditioning
Summary
The board voted to submit a facility improvement grant application to expand air conditioning at the high school, approving a motion to apply; members discussed phased and full-school options and the district's available bond funds.
The Crestwood School District board voted to authorize a grant application for high-school air conditioning during the special meeting, approving a motion to submit the district's resolution to the facility improvement grant program.
A committee member summarized two options: a phased approach (partial coverage with electrical upgrades) estimated at about $3.8 million, and a full-school option priced at roughly $9.4 million. "3,800,000, I believe," the committee member said when asked about the lower-cost option; the member also stated the grant program's maximum is $5,000,000 but noted that prior awards to districts typically ranged from $1 million to $2 million.
After questions about electrical upgrade needs, bonding capacity and priorities (the district reported roughly $5 million remaining in bond proceeds), members voted to apply for the grant. The motion carried and the board indicated staff would pursue committee-level work and potential future grant rounds.
