Fremont school board approves $34,928 renovation of high school gym floor

The Fremont Public School District Board of Education voted 6-0 on March 11 to approve a $34,928 renovation of the high school main gym floor.

The motion to approve the renovation (Motion #6955) was made by board member Pete Slovinski and seconded by board member Steve Paulsen. The board recorded six ayes, no nays and no abstentions.

The renovation was discussed during board communications as part of facilities planning; the facilities report earlier in the meeting identified multiple grounds and infrastructure needs, including parking-lot asphalt repairs and added fencing at athletic fields. No contractors or project timelines were included in the minutes.

The approval came after the board returned from a closed session held earlier in the meeting; the closed session concerned the superintendent’s evaluation and contract negotiations, and no details from that session were disclosed in the minutes.

The board’s action authorizes the district to proceed with the gym-floor project at the approved cost. The minutes do not specify the contractor, funding source within the district budget, or an expected completion date.
