Board reviews $39 million ‘ideal state’ master plan for middle and high schools
Summary
The Board of Trustees reviewed a preliminary MS/HS master facilities "ideal state" plan presented by Mr. Austin that would add classroom and activity space, improve security and ventilation, and relocate bus circulation; HSR estimated the project at $39 million if started in 2028.
The Board of Trustees of the Mineral Point Unified School District reviewed a preliminary "ideal state" master facilities plan for the middle and high school campus presented by Mr. Austin at its May 18, 2026, strategic planning meeting. The plan calls for expansions to technical education, music/choir, Project Lead The Way (PTLW), media and agricultural facilities; elimination of an unsecured back door; district-wide air conditioning; a wrestling/multipurpose room; and a weight/fitness room intended for community use. It also proposes a new entrance for events, an MP store for concessions and merchandise, shifting all high-school–level classes from the middle school to the high school, and moving bus routes and the primary drop-off behind the building.
The presentation included an HSR cost estimate of $39 million if construction began in 2028. Board members asked for data and justification for each major feature and directed staff to survey the community to prioritize needs and trade-offs. Those follow-up items were recorded as the immediate next steps; no formal motion or vote was taken during the session.
