Board discusses $15 million facilities plan, schedules community survey
Summary
District leaders outlined a prioritized facilities investment package of about $15 million to address deferred maintenance and safety upgrades and proposed optional add-ons (daycare and fitness/track) that could raise the total near $20–21 million. The board plans a community survey by School Perceptions in early September.
District leaders described an extensive facilities assessment and proposed asking voters to fund prioritized infrastructure work estimated at about $15 million to bring the building up to a 20‑ to 30‑year standard. The speaker told the board the package would focus on deferred maintenance and safety improvements—secure entry, heating and cooling, roofing, science and technology upgrades, restroom remodels, and modest classroom additions. "We're looking at about $15 million," the presenter said, noting an additional roughly $4 million in deferred maintenance tied to older wings of the building.
Optional add‑ons were discussed separately: a childcare/daycare option estimated around $2 million and a community fitness center/track package also near $2 million, which would push an all‑in ask toward $20–21 million. The board agreed to work with School Perceptions on a short community survey to present prioritized options to voters and return data by early November. Several trustees questioned growth projections and whether taxpayers would support optional add‑ons; members suggested keeping the core infrastructure ask separate from optional community features.
