Bond Oversight Committee Meeting Recap – May 12, 2026

The Bond Oversight Committee met on May 12, 2026, to review financial updates, project progress, and upcoming construction activities across the district.

Bond Information & Financial Updates

An updated project list was shared with the committee, highlighting recent progress in the contracting process. Approximately $5 million in bond-funded projects are currently active.

The committee reviewed several roof replacement projects that are moving toward final contracts. Some of these projects may qualify for insurance coverage, which could help reduce district costs.

Contracts have also been finalized for storage units (PODS) at Sproul Junior High and Grand Mountain School to support upcoming construction work.

The committee reviewed the approval process used for school discretionary funds. School-based committees developed project proposals, which then underwent multiple levels of review by district leadership and cabinet members before final approval. Many of these projects are expected to begin this summer.
