Wayside MS, Eagle Mountain HS and other projects show steady progress, district reports
Summary
Clete Welch reported construction milestones across district projects: Wayside MS storm shelter and iron structure work, Eagle Mountain HS core 96% complete, ongoing design work for Saginaw ES, and the YMCA pool/locker-room decision being reconsidered due to budget constraints.
Chief Operations Officer Clete Welch briefed the Board on construction progress across the district’s portfolio.
At Wayside Middle School, roofing and brickwork on the storm shelter have begun, CMU block work in locker rooms is finishing, iron structures near the gym are in place and second-floor decking installation is underway. Eagle Mountain High School’s core is 96% complete with subcontractor punch items nearly finished. Welch noted that the YMCA, citing budget constraints, is considering building a pool and locker room at its existing site rather than on the new campus; district and city parties continue to work on infrastructure issues for the Steven G. Newcom Middle School project. The Dick and Heidi Elkins Agricultural Science Complex completed its construction-document page-turn with VLK Architects.
Board members asked about the pool and locker-room site question; Welch responded that staff and partners continue planning and coordination. No formal change orders or contract approvals were recorded in the minutes for these items at this meeting.
