28. Bond Report
Discussion:
Mr. Wilson provided an update on district construction projects. The Band Building/Safe Room is approximately 85% complete but is not expected to be ready for students until the end of August due to the installation of the weight room flooring and the final inspection of the fire alarm system. The Ag Building is approximately 83% complete and is expected to be ready for students after Labor Day; the road in front of the building is expected to be open by the first day of school. Construction at the tennis facility is expected to resume this week. The Superintendent reported that the soccer field sod and sprinkler system were formally rejected, and the contractor is working to repair or replace them to meet plan requirements. The track cannot be resurfaced until the sod and sprinkler system work is completed. Plans for the new cafeteria are complete, and bids for demolition of the burned cafeteria are expected to be issued this week. Administrators also met with an audio/visual company representative regarding new sound and lighting systems for the auditorium. The representative is developing plans and designs for the space, with the goal of having a partial sound system installed in time for the fall production.
