Trustees approve revised five-year Capital Improvement Plan, discuss DHS courts project

Douglas County School District Board of Trustees · May 20, 2025

Summary

The board approved a revised five-year CIP required by statute and discussed prioritization and joint-use projects, including Superintendent Alvarado's recommendation to proceed with tennis and pickleball courts at Douglas High School in partnership with the county.

Staff presented a revised five-year Capital Improvement Plan and explained how projects are prioritized and how unspent funds may be carried forward. Trustee discussion focused on project inclusion and liability for joint-use sites.

Superintendent Frankie Alvarado said of the proposed athletic courts at Douglas High School, "In partnership with the County, he would recommend moving forward with that project." Trustees asked about liability and fencing projects; legal counsel Ryan Russell said details of any joint-use agreement and liability would be outlined later.

Trustees voted 7-0 to approve the CIP for 2025-2026. The board directed staff to continue refining project lists, confirm funding carryover rules and address outstanding questions about fencing and liability on shared facilities.
