What this document actually says
This report summarizes accessibility (ADA) improvements at Bel Aire Elementary following site inspections in December 2025. The school has already made many accessibility upgrades including ramps, restroom renovations, and an elevator. Current projects include installing detectable warnings at curbs, adjusting door pressure, filling concrete gaps, installing bathroom dispensers at proper heights, and adding accessible parking signs—most scheduled for summer break. The district requests Board approval for two major projects: a stair lift for a 3rd grade building ($60,000) and automatic door openers for the main office ($13,000), with total costs not exceeding $90,000. Additional walkthroughs with individual students and families are planned to assess specific accessibility needs.
What this means for your family
These improvements ensure all students, including those with mobility challenges, can safely access all areas of Bel Aire Elementary. The stair lift and automatic door openers will particularly help students who use wheelchairs or have other physical disabilities. Most work happens during summer break to minimize disruption. Families with accessibility needs will be invited to participate in walkthroughs to ensure their child's specific requirements are met.
