Board hears $520K security upgrades; operations staff outline $100M Clovis High School PSCOC presentation plan

Mister Brady and Mister Hill updated the board on facilities and security improvements on March 24, reporting completed and planned work and the district's next steps toward a major high-school project.

Hill said the district spent about $520,000 this year on card-access installations and security film for gym and exterior doors as part of phase one. He described single-point-of-egress changes, vestibule upgrades and a mass-notification integration that will lock card-access doors when the district triggers the security protocol.

Hill also described ongoing projects: Marshall'site alarm/intercom punch lists, Lincoln Jackson reroof completion, Sandia gym-floor replacement and LVT flooring installed where appropriate for longevity and cleaning efficiency. The operations team is inventorying portables and planning a phased approach for a student support/learning center at Raintree tied to culinary/CTE needs.

On the Clovis High School (CHS) project, Hill said district staff are finalizing materials for a Public School Capital Outlay Commission (PSCOC) presentation on May 7 in Santa Fe. He said the district will request funding (presented in the meeting as a $100,000,000 ask) and that staff expect notification in June. Hill noted the district has had preliminary meetings with the funding body and is preparing an eight-minute, 12-slide presentation.

Hill flagged a separate, 100% PSFA-funded $4,000,000 demolition request for Cameo that will be pursued as part of facility master plan steps. Board members asked about start dates, PSFA/PSCOC cycles and construction phasing; Hill said planning could begin in the fall with an approximately 18-month planning horizon for early phases.

No formal board action was required on facilities funding at the meeting; staff sought direction and provided a status update ahead of the PSCOC presentation.
