Summary
Board members said a campus master plan committee received largely positive feedback and that Phase 1 (Hilton removal) and Phase 2 (new driveway) are underway; the board plans to put the new driveway out to bid once utility relocation is complete and expects a campus master-plan cost estimate by the fall.
Board members and administrators told the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools Board of Education on June 25 that a recent campus master-plan committee meeting produced positive feedback and that the district will next seek bids for a new driveway where the Hilton building was removed.
District leaders said the campus master plan contains multiple phases. Phase 1—removal of the Hilton building—has been completed; Phase 2, the new drive in the former Hilton location, is next but requires moving a utility pole before the district can solicit bids. Administrators said the driveway bid schedule has slipped due to utility relocation timing and contractor availability; they estimated the new drive might be in use by early 2026 rather than this fall.
Board members said later phases (3'6) are more visionary and currently unfunded. The administration said the goal is to present a full campus master plan with cost estimates at the district's State of the Schools event in October and then seek community feedback on appetite for a possible bond.
The district emphasized that the master plan was originally created to address traffic concerns on Mill Road and that any bond or ballot measure would be considered only after the state budget clarifies operational funding.
