Additionally, the Board authorized staff to investigate the acquisition of existing commercial properties to consolidate district administrative services, with a focus on the 9th Street property and potential alternatives. Funding approvals included a $51 million D Major Projects Program for capital renewal and design phase funding for Sparks Middle School reconstruction, as well as adoption of a $50 million general obligation bond resolution to support the FY27 Capital Renewal Plan. The Board also approved proceeding with an external reuse evaluation for the Old Stead Elementary School property.
