Auditorium rebuild: bids this winter, demolition about January
What happened
Architects showed plans for the Fort Ringgold auditorium, about 1,012 seats with accessibility fixes. Bids are expected in November and December. Demolition waits until after the elementary holiday events, about January. The board approved the first payment.
Why it matters to families
The auditorium is used for school events and will be closed during work. It is paid with the $8.13M tax notes.
The evidence
At the October 13, 2026 meeting, architects presented renderings and the timeline, and the board approved the first payment. The October 5 workshop gave the demolition timing. Evidence comes from the district's auto-generated YouTube captions, which can garble names and numbers.
