The Eagle Point School District 9 held a work session on April 12, 2024, focusing on several key maintenance and improvement projects within the district. The meeting addressed the urgent need to replace aging safety equipment and enhance campus signage.
The discussion began with an update on the replacement of outdated safety equipment. Officials noted that the current equipment has been deemed too old by the insurance company, prompting a plan to order replacements. Regular testing of the equipment is conducted annually to ensure safety compliance, but the need for new installations has become critical. The district is collaborating with fire marshals to facilitate this process.
Transportation staff have been managing various projects but have faced challenges due to their workload. The district is working to maintain momentum on these initiatives, ensuring that safety measures are prioritized.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted progress on the installation of Powder River panels for the Ag Grama project. Temporary setups have been established to confirm proper placement before finalizing the installation of gates and posts.
In terms of campus aesthetics, the district reported that faded and peeling signs in Shady Cove have been replaced. Plans are underway to upgrade signage across all campuses, aiming to create a more visually appealing environment for students and staff.
Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to safety and improvement, with ongoing efforts to enhance both infrastructure and campus appearance. Further updates on these projects are expected in future sessions.
