Committee Approves $8,500 Temporary Water Tank for Turner Primary School

During the MSAD52 Board of Directors meeting held on May 1, 2025, key discussions centered around the urgent need for a temporary water solution for Turner Primary School. The board addressed the recommendation to install a 1,000-gallon temporary water tank, proposed by Goodwin at a cost of $8,500. This measure aims to provide immediate support while further engineering and research are conducted to assess the school's full water needs.

The board's decision to move forward with this temporary solution reflects a proactive approach to ensuring that Turner Primary School can meet its operational requirements without delay. The funding for this initiative will be sourced from the capital repair reserve fund, underscoring the board's commitment to maintaining essential facilities for students.

The motion to approve the temporary water tank was met with unanimous support from board members, indicating a collective agreement on the importance of addressing the school's water needs promptly. This decision not only highlights the board's responsiveness to immediate challenges but also sets the stage for future discussions regarding long-term solutions for the school's infrastructure.

As the meeting progressed into old business, the board's focus on infrastructure and resource management continued to be a priority. The discussions from this meeting are expected to have lasting implications for the community, particularly in ensuring that educational facilities are adequately equipped to serve their students effectively. The board's commitment to addressing these issues will likely foster a more supportive learning environment at Turner Primary School.
