BOE Facilities Planning Committee Meeting - May 27, 2026

The Norwalk Public Schools Board of Education Facilities Planning Committee met on May 27, 2026, to discuss updates on ongoing and upcoming school construction and HVAC projects. Key procurement-related topics included the approval and bidding of a rooftop solar PV system, progress on the Norwalk High School construction with a scheduled occupancy in fall 2027 and full completion by fall 2028, and multiple HVAC upgrade projects across several schools with some nearing completion and others in progress. The committee also discussed the procurement and installation of wider lockers at two schools and the planned removal of the last underground oil storage tank at the Family Center, with an expected 60% state reimbursement. Additionally, the committee unanimously supported moving forward a proposal to rename a band storage facility at Andrews Field in honor of a longtime band instructor, with the request to be forwarded to the city for final approval. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of the extensive summer work planned and appreciation for the staff's efforts.
