The GCISD Board of Trustees heard an update on activities related to the 2005 Bond Program during the regular meeting on June 22, 2009. The following update was presented:
- On Bid Package 7, work on the six-classroom addition to Cannon Elementary continues. The ceiling grid is installed in all classrooms, and HVAC grilles and lighting fixtures are complete in all classrooms and corridors. Ceramic tile has been installed in the restrooms and corridors at the classroom addition, and crews are preparing to construct the new corridor in the addition. Cabinets, marker boards, and wiring for technology have been installed in classrooms, and interior painting is in process. Exterior sidewalks are in place and site grading continues. At the Transportation facility and field event areas, interior and exterior painting of the building continues. Repair of the paving areas is approximately 50 percent complete and grading of the new parking areas is near completion. Installation of conduits for parking lot lighting and piping for irrigation is progressing. At the Facility Services building and Tax Office, preparations are in progress for new rooftop HVAC units. Plumbing for the new restrooms is in place, and work on HVAC ducts and electrical systems continues.
- On Bid Package 8, interior demolition of walls, ceilings and floor coverings continues at the Administration Complex. The project is being funded with bond money originally allocated for renovations to the Administration Complex combined with funds the District received from TxDOT due to the expansion of Highway 26. At the Professional Development and Education Center (PDEC), grading of the parking lot expansion is complete, and conduits for exterior lighting and piping for irrigation are being installed. At O.C. Taylor Elementary, demolition of existing windows and millwork is scheduled to begin the week of June 22 in preparation for the addition of a secured entrance.
