Phase 4 revised MOA and school consolidation

The revised plan builds a new $90 million MLK PK-8, consolidates Carnevale students into DelSesto (closing Carnevale and saving about $500,000 a year in operating costs), and scopes down several Phase 4B projects funded from the shrinking revolving fund.

School construction schedule delays (Kizirian and RFK)

Two of six active school projects are behind schedule. Kizirian students may need portable classrooms at Narducci if the building misses its 2027 opening, and RFK started months late. Delays could shift student moves and complicate swing space planning.
