What happened

The superintendent said the high school's original HVAC system leaks about 500 gallons of water a day and recently left the building without air for a couple of hours. Fixing it is estimated at $3.5 million to $5 million, which the district expects to pay for with a future bond.

Why it matters to families

A breakdown could disrupt classes. A bond would need voter approval, so families may be asked to vote on it later.

The evidence

August 2026 recap: 'you're looking at a potential 3 and 1/2 to 5 million dollar project to overhaul just the HVAC here at the high school'. (Superintendent's official recap video; YouTube auto-generated captions.) Date is the recap video upload date (meeting held the night before).
