Bond 2022 update: new classrooms occupied, substantial completion targeted for March 2026

Contractors and architects updated the Rockport‑Fulton ISD Board on progress of Bond 2022 construction work during the Jan. 15 meeting.

Teal Construction said the project is about 90% complete and staff have begun using new classrooms following receipt of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the classroom wing. The firm described ongoing work in the athletic wing (flooring, finishes, ductwork, locker rooms), completion of sidewalk and flat work near the softball concession area, and landscaping and irrigation work to follow.

A Teal representative said punch‑list work remains and that some items will be completed after occupancy; substantial completion is still scheduled for March 2026. The contractor emphasized coordination with district staff for final inspections and turnover. Board members asked about the project status reporting; the contractor and project manager said they would continue to provide photos and updates as the remaining tasks are addressed.

Trustees acknowledged the visible progress and expressed confidence that teams are in the final stretch. The board did not take separate action on these construction updates but later approved related bond expenditures when voting on the HVAC job order contract.
