3.a. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION FOR EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR GAS LINE REPAIR AT SECONDARY CAMPUS.
Speaker(s):
Dr. Gregory Nelson, Superintendent
Description:
A critical failure has occurred in the gas line servicing the entire secondary campus, resulting in a complete disconnection of gas. This impacts critical campus operations, including food services, science labs, and HVAC systems where applicable. The repair is classified as an emergency and must be addressed immediately to ensure the safety and functionality of the campus. School is scheduled to begin on August 14, 2025, and the projected repair timeline is 1.5 to 2 weeks, meaning the repair work will overlap with the start of the school year. During this time, hot food service will be unavailable, and the district is developing a contingency cafeteria plan to ensure student meal access continues uninterrupted. The cost of the repair is expected to exceed the amount the Superintendent is authorized to approve without Board action. Final costs may vary depending on the extent of the work required once repairs are underway. Given the urgent nature of the situation, the administration is seeking Board authorization for the Superintendent to take all necessary actions to address the emergency repair without delay. |
