The district’s board of trustees approved the guaranteed maximum prices for renovations during a Feb. 26 meeting. The agreements allow no more than $14.25 million to be spent on the projects at Reynolds Middle School, and no more than $9.63 million to be spent on the Rogers Middle School projects.
Looking back
The two projects are part of the district’s multibillion-dollar bond package approved by Prosper voters in 2023 to refresh the campuses and build new classrooms for the district’s growing student population.
Reynolds Middle’s first construction phase added six classrooms, Deputy Superintendent Greg Bradley said in the meeting. Its second phase of construction is ongoing and will add a new gym, rework various classrooms and add safety components to the school.
Phase 1 of Rogers Middle added four classrooms to the school's academic wing and was completed last summer. The second construction phase is ongoing and includes a new gym, band hall and various fine arts classrooms.
Sorting out details
Phase 3 of Reynolds Middle's project will be a complete renovation of interior areas of the school, Bradley said. The district is also expecting to bring in additional portables to the school for the next school year.
A fourth construction phase will be brought to the board for consideration in fall 2025 or spring 2026, Bradley said. The final phase will include various work in the interior and the addition of an office suite.
The majority of the work to be done at Rogers Middle is above the school, Bradley said. About 85,000 square feet of the roof will undergo renovations while the HVAC system will be fixed. The project will begin at the end of the 2024-25 school year.
The school’s fourth construction phase will be completed after the 2025-26 school year. The campus is overcrowded and district officials are waiting for the enrollment to decrease in the 2026-27 school year once additional middle schools open to start new projects, Bradley said.
