10 29 25 Board of Education Meeting
We need to be able to provide you with more clarity on the direction of the designs for the December and January board meetings. We're going to talk a little bit about what that process looks like as well as just some updates on each one of the designs tonight so the first part is in order to do that we have to enter what's called the schematic design phase and you can kind of see some of the things that we're going to be doing and we're going to talk a little bit about that and what that process looks like and we have to enter what's called the schematic design phase and you can kind of see some of the bullet points there so when we talk about the elementary schools and the athletics this is the main push for our design teams over the next 60 to 90 days because what this does is provide more definitive information for the board, for administration and for us to also be working with the construction manager to really start to work through what those costs will be and so when we get to looking at that December board timeline and especially in time for the January survey we'll have more definitive information because we are now in that schematic design phase. Right now our recommendation would be and just a question for you guys moving forward is right now we are planning on pausing at the end of schematic design which for us would be sometime in that January timeframe and then once the ballot passes we would pick up on the design after that point for the elementary school and for the athletics.

When we look at the high school projects that might look a little different and the reason is that very similarly to the elementary schools we're in that schematic design phase now if we continue to move forward into design development and construction documents before the ballot in April that allows construction activities to take place this summer in summer of 26 so that the high school projects would be ready by August of 27.

If we were to take a similar pause on the high school projects like we do on the elementary that would push it back instead of opening August of 27 it may be January of 28 or August of 28 so just a consideration for the board as you think through the timelines it's not impacting us for the next 30 to 45 days.

We're still working through the schematic design but it's a decision for the board to give us permission to move forward or not pass that and again there's some cost implications to that but also just that benefit of opening up the high school projects a semester or an entire year earlier just because we're able to push forward and design the spring.

Okay I'm going to run you through the elementary schools before I do that I think it's I think it's worthwhile to just always keep present and remind ourselves the work that's come in advance of where we are today and I'm going to take that real all the way back to the beginning of the master plan phase that Paragon led when needs were assessed, buildings were assessed, conditions of buildings were assessed. To really understand what you've got in your facilities district wide and so I think those are important benchmarks to keep reminding ourselves and the community in fact of the work that has come so far to the extent possible.
