District staff outline high school construction sequencing, site visits and temporary changes

District staff told trustees a federal review team will visit the Stephenson site Tuesday the 30th through Wednesday the 1st and that staff will present alongside the construction management architect. S2 described construction sequencing and logistics, including temporary site changes intended to improve student safety during construction.

“Probably biggest is Tiger Alley is gonna be blocked off,” S2 said, describing plans to convert the rear of the building into staff parking and to pave a corner section behind the greenhouse to add parking. He noted lead times on ordered materials may extend the construction schedule but said work would begin as parts arrive.

Staff said some sequencing may not follow the originally hoped order because of materials lead times (one order cited as a roughly 20-week process). Trustees were shown planned access changes and told staff would provide updates as the project proceeds.
