Board reiterates phased approach to campus consolidation; funding contingent on severance tax and other sources
Summary
Superintendent reviewed the phased campus consolidation flowchart and said work will proceed only when funds for each phase are secured; board discussed reliance on possible severance tax revenue and the need to coordinate timelines with contractors.
The superintendent updated the board on the district’s campus consolidation project and emphasized the phased approach tied to available funding.
She told the board the district approved consolidation and land acquisition steps and is currently in the land‑improvement and bridge phase; work on any phase will only begin once the district has the necessary funds. The superintendent said the district hopes for severance tax or oil‑and‑gas revenue to help pay for phases but noted revenue timing is uncertain and “timelines are flexible.”
Board members asked procedural and procurement questions about policies tied to construction and purchasing thresholds and were reminded that state law changes to bid thresholds must be passed before the district could rely on them.
No new appropriation or binding funding commitment was made at the meeting; the board asked staff to continue coordinating with contractors and to post project materials on the district website for public review.
