Board discusses RHS roofing options, lifecycle costs and capital outlay request
Summary
Board members reviewed a requisition for roofing systems at RHS and debated flat versus pitched roofing options, expressing concern about long-term leaks and lifecycle costs; staff said a Capital Outlay request was submitted and funding could come from several bills or bonds.
Board members and staff discussed a recommended requisition for roofing systems at Raton High School, comparing a 10–15-year flat roofing option with longer-lived pitched or metal roofing. One board member warned that membrane flat roofs often leak and can cause structural damage, citing recent local examples; another urged considering more durable options to avoid repeated replacements.
Staff said they already submitted a Capital Outlay request and will await survey findings and consultant input before finalizing work. A staff member noted potential funding sources, saying the capital outlay request is "of 300" and that project funding could "also come from house bill 4 50, GO Bond 20 21 or Senate Bill 9." The board asked staff to gather detailed survey results and cost estimates before a final procurement decision.
