Reeder Construction provided a construction progress update on Brock ISDs Multipurpose Student Center (MPSC) and addressed recent incidents at Brock Intermediate during the boards Nov. 10 meeting.

Jeff Stephens of Reeder Construction summarized site work: three bays of structural steel installed in the practice area, metal panels being placed, metal framing progressing in the band hall, sidewalk installation underway, ductwork strapping complete, and most metal framing expected to be finished by the end of December. The contractor presented aerial photographs taken at the end of October and said more progress had been made since those photos were taken.

Regarding recent incidents at Brock Intermediate, Cole Reeder addressed causes and corrective actions and "took full responsibility for the issues," according to the meeting minutes. Corey Mabe, who oversees safety management, described specific incident-response steps and remediation measures the contractor has implemented; the minutes record the contractor reaffirmed confidence in the buildings safety.

The update was informational; no construction-related board action was taken at the meeting. Superintendent Dr. Shannon Luis and district staff will continue monitoring progress and safety remediation as construction continues.
