During a recent school board meeting, members expressed gratitude for the extensive renovations completed over the summer, made possible by community support for a bond measure. Board members praised the efforts of the facilities department, highlighting the positive impact of upgrades on both students and teachers.
Board member Mr. Pantera shared his enthusiasm for the improvements, noting that new carpets and refreshed environments contribute to a renewed sense of energy and success within schools. He emphasized the importance of community involvement in the decision-making process regarding aesthetic choices for school renovations.
Mrs. Baker echoed these sentiments, commending the district's commitment to maintaining and upgrading facilities. She specifically mentioned the installation of LED lighting designed to accommodate students with ADHD and autism, which she observed during a recent school visit. Additionally, she noted the popularity of new pickleball courts among junior high students, reflecting the district's responsiveness to student interests.
The discussion also touched on the financial implications of the bond funding. A board member inquired about the potential limitations on upgrades had the bond not been approved. The response indicated that without the bond, only essential maintenance would have been feasible, significantly reducing the scope of improvements.
As the meeting concluded, members celebrated the upcoming birthday of Dr. Reynolds, fostering a sense of community within the board. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for October 10 at 6:30 PM.
