The GJPS Board of Education Finance and Facilities Committee held a meeting on June 16, 2026, focusing primarily on updates related to the high school construction project and associated capital improvements. Key procurement-related discussions included progress on demolition and site work, storm structure installations, and mechanical system upgrades such as the rebuilding of cooling towers and heat exchangers. The committee reviewed change orders totaling around $6,000 and noted that punch list items were nearing completion. They also discussed the renewal of the district's property and casualty insurance package with Ohio School Plan, highlighting a 20% increase in district exposure due to the new high school and plans to test the insurance market again in the future. Additionally, a new elevator service provider was selected following a successful RFP process, offering improved service options. Financial reports indicated a light month of capital project spending ($582,000) with over $18 million unpaid on the high school project and a fund balance exceeding $28 million, much of which is earmarked for future work. The meeting concluded with motions passed to adjourn and enter executive session for personnel matters.
