The North Allegheny School District held a work session on November 13, 2024, focusing on facility planning and updates across various school buildings. The meeting began with a review of the comprehensive plan, highlighting the inclusion of facilities, which is not always standard in other districts.
The agenda covered several key topics, starting with an update on facility planning. The district reported on completed projects and proposed future renovations. Traffic studies for high school planning indicated that combining two campuses was not feasible, prompting ongoing assessments of necessary renovations. Daily operations will continue without interruption while capital repairs are made as needed. The district plans to present a detailed proposal for renovations in January.
For elementary schools, a 2021 engineering assessment has guided ongoing reinvestments. Recent upgrades included a new PA system at Hozek Elementary and HVAC replacements at Peebles Elementary scheduled for the upcoming summer. The district is also reviewing renovation concepts and budgets for these schools, with a timeline to be shared in January.
The meeting detailed completed capital projects, showcasing improvements at various schools. Notable updates included new safety fencing at Franklin Elementary, masonry repairs at Inglemore Elementary, and paving enhancements at Marshall Elementary. At the North Allegheny Senior High, resurfacing of tennis courts and updates to the football locker room were highlighted.
Looking ahead, the district proposed several projects for the upcoming year, including HVAC modifications at Bradford Woods Elementary and sidewalk replacements at Carson Middle School. The district aims to enhance air quality and comfort in office spaces and improve grounds maintenance through the replacement of aging equipment.
The meeting concluded with a summary of proposed facility expenditures totaling $2,782,000 for the current year. The district remains committed to maintaining and improving its facilities to support educational excellence. Further discussions and updates are expected in the coming months as plans are finalized.
