Referendum Phase 2 work behind schedule; liquidated-damages letter set deadline Jan. 19
Summary
Board minutes say Phase 2 projects were not finished over the holiday break; the district sent a letter of liquidated damages to contractor Hoeft with a January 19, 2026 deadline and requested new quotes for locker reconfigurations.
The Board received multiple construction and facilities updates tied to Phase 2 of the district referendum. Minutes state that "Projects were not completed over the holiday break as promised" and that a "letter of liquidating damages was sent to Hoeft with a deadline of January 19, 2026." The district also reported contractor-tracking items: Trulock is completing locks and security work, TCE interior doors were completed, glazing and balancers still need to be added, the Middle/High School office needs painting, and HVAC controls have been ordered.
Separately, the Board reviewed locker reconfiguration plans. The 6th-grade lockers would be reduced from 90 to 70 to create a lounge area; 7th/8th-grade lockers in the science wing may be reduced by 10 with the option to purchase larger lockers depending on cost. The Board asked staff to request a new quote reflecting those changes and discussed security gates to section parts of the school for events. Bus garage follow-ups included an awning quote, a possible diesel-tank update and options to track fuel consumption.
