Community High School District 94 administration told the board it has budgeted $2.0 million for summer 2026 capital work, with priorities including roofing overlays for two sections of the 1926 building and an auditorium renovation.

Administration said roof work on the 1926 section is estimated at $416,050 and will target the upper and middle roof areas with overlay installations that carry 20‑year warranties. A larger lower roof section requires a tear‑off and is estimated at $395,000; that project has been deferred to summer 2027 to manage costs and sequencing.

The board was told the auditorium facelift will receive roughly $1.58 million of the available funds after the roofing commitment. Planned auditorium work includes new paint, seating, carpet, concrete repairs and new stage curtains; administration said Allied Facility Partners will manage the project and DLA Architects will provide design services. Contracts for Olson Roofing, Allied Facility Partners and DLA are expected to be presented to the board at the November meeting for approval.

Administration said Olson Roofing provided the roofing proposal under a TIPS cooperative purchasing contract and that DLA reviewed the pricing. The district also intends to apply for an Illinois School Maintenance Grant (a $50,000 matching grant) to offset costs; board approval will be required if the grant award and matching are pursued.

Board members asked for clarification on overlay versus tear‑off warranties and sequencing; administration said an overlay carries a 20‑year warranty but noted that after an overlay has reached the end of its service life, the district would likely need to perform a tear‑off to reach decking.

No contract awards were approved at the Committee of the Whole meeting; administration will return with contract documents at the November board meeting.
