What happened

Construction managers showed a renovated cafeteria and gym, a new secure entry vestibule, and a new multipurpose assembly and performing-arts room with retractable seats (about 500 seats in the February plan, 420 in an April update). Staff later said the room should be handed over around mid-October 2026 and in use by mid-November.

Why it matters to families

The project changes how students enter the building and gives the schools a place for performances, PE and large events.

The evidence

February 2026 (rescheduled January) meeting: M.B. Kahn presentation on construction; August 24, 2026 meeting gave the October/November handover dates. (YouTube auto-generated captions of the official recording.)
