At the Nov. 17 work study meeting, Nathan Fuchs, senior executive director of operations, said the projects address systems that have reached the end of their life expectancy, making replacement parts increasingly difficult to source.
He said the system upgrades are a component of the district’s $806.56 million bond approved by voters in 2023, which included safety and security improvements.
The breakdown
The work includes life safety system upgrades encompassing fire alarm systems, audio systems, master clock systems and emergency generators, Fuchs said.
Of the $4.9 million, which includes contingency engineering and design amounts, Seven Lakes High will see the highest cost at $2.45 million, followed by:
- Franz Elementary at $1.03 million
- Rhoads Elementary with $1 million
Moving forward
Trustees are set to approve the repairs at the Dec. 8 board meeting, per district documents.
The repairs are set to be completed before the beginning of the 2026-27 school year, per the agreement.
