Carrie said the phase 1 package will go through a third‑party storm‑shelter review before the district solicits a construction manager. The plan calls for an addition that includes an internal classroom within a storm shelter, a small front addition for an electrical room, and utility work that will extend to Spruce Hills Drive for a new water main and new storm piping.

Most renovation work is planned for the summer of 2026. Carrie described a schedule that uses summer breaks to complete mass demolition and disruptive work so that student safety and noise exposure are minimized during the school year. She said a mechanical room renovation will proceed through the project timeline and other areas will be phased so that signage and room renumbering can be implemented in coordination with building operations.

Carrie pointed out that some site work — new sidewalks, conduit from the transformer to the new electrical room, and storm piping — will occur around the building and may be visible to neighbors before the main construction begins. The project team plans to bring a construction manager on board to refine sequencing and communications once the documents are complete.

Board members asked about timing and logistics; the architect said schedules could shift once the construction manager is engaged and cited weather and other common construction risks as potential influences on sequencing.

The board packet contained site plans and diagrams illustrating the additions, phased renovation areas, and the locations of new utilities.","Architects reported phase 0 is substantially complete.

“The new staff just felt extremely welcomed,” Dr. Morris said, describing new‑teacher orientation activities and a planned district tour that will end with an informal ice‑cream stop. She told the board that technology staff helped new teachers with district instructional systems and that a broader recap of summer accomplishments will be presented at a future meeting.

Dr. Morris also reported a partnership with the City of Bettendorf to expand summer meal access: “Over 684 meals were served to students in our community this summer,” she said, noting the district provided meals at two school sites and at two parks where summer programming attracts families.

The superintendent announced a notable event scheduled for Sept. 16: the Iowa Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the district’s performing arts center at 7 p.m. The case is State Public Defender v. Iowa District Court for Scott County, Dr. Morris said. The morning of Sept. 16, a justice will visit classrooms and small groups; the district will host a reception after the arguments sponsored by the local bar association.

Dr. Morris asked the community to note open houses, unpack‑your‑backpack events and a community expo at the high school in late August. She confirmed the first day of school will be Monday, Aug. 25, and thanked district and community partners that supported orientation events.

District staff and community partners named in the report included the district’s HR team, building administrators, the city, and local businesses and organizations that donated goods or services for new‑staff events.","Superintendent Dr. Morris updated the board on new‑staff orientation, district‑city summer meals collaboration that served 684 meals, expanded onboarding activities and a Sept. 16 Iowa Supreme Court oral-arguments event at the high‑school performing arts center.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":92,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6504578,"Bettendorf CSD: High‑school roofing delayed by rain; contractor to repair yard, concrete",426,599000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588459-cc640483480de5025a30c4aeb7c20ca6&start=599&end=1025","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588459-cc640483480de5025a30c4aeb7c20ca6/thumbnail_599000.jpg","/articles/6504578/Iowa/Bettendorf-CSD-Highschool-roofing-delayed-by-rain-contractor-to-repair-yard-concrete","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6504578-35db150b282209370159716142b06292/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174823&Signature=YPlk31-hy3hRqRpbvEWj9EJfecsTB2MCMiyP6oIfw~rH48ULMaIfelVmb1XVDlOONGdOgG9j9QRhj6XbZu3HcKsILOZ6ldAsPlyPGyaSXSxzees-0SqDLs-HVLOxd0gFez9uMuCAcFAG8WqfdkswVTNLkPTFFlMFBD55s9cPDHX5D3a5jqml9VakAp1TDp1ekZqGAVD5rZxKTgl~0kTm2t5H5UIkx3KlmhUNynwwOg9BEZI7uMNsjO4KSGUI4C9khkDAYwP7djQjKFHSUJ3tLPinBoYAPzR0VDqeMnJv82wx9vKYQNFaoSTlnPnJq7SkCcn-z7aYIhLfwNN-0Mv5~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Scott, the district’s director of operations, told the Bettendorf Community School District board the high‑school roofing project was delayed by rain and contractor scheduling, but contractors will repair damage and return to speed up work.

The roofing company lost what Scott said amounted to \"40 to 50% of their work scheduled workdays because of rain,\" and crews were reassigned to the middle school. Scott said the district expects contractor crews to return and increase staffing next week to finish tear‑off and material removal.

Board members were told two roofs are being removed at the high school and that the original roof beneath is a heavy poured asphalt layer. That layering — in places an inch thick and in others up to seven inches because of roof tapers — is slowing removal, Scott said. The contractor pulled teams from the high school and put them on the middle school; Scott said the middle‑school work was about 85% complete at the time of the report and that crews should return to the high school the following Monday.

Scott said contractors damaged some concrete and yard areas while bringing materials on site and that the contractor will cover repairs. He also said crews fenced off the front area to keep students and staff away from active work and make the site appear more like a construction zone for safety.

Scott told the board the courtyard and roof access geometry required some difficult means of getting materials up to the roof and that rain made the task worse. He said the project will be safe for students and that the district will receive a fuller update in coming meetings, when operations and technology staff provide a more detailed summary of summer projects.

The district’s technology director, Ben Reller, is scheduled to present a broader report with Scott at a subsequent board meeting describing other summer work and technology‑related projects.","District operations director said wet weather and contractor scheduling pushed high‑school roofing behind schedule; contractor will repair damaged concrete and yard and will return to accelerate work next week.","actionData","errors"]
