Facilities committee reports on air‑filtration work, bleacher concerns and pending NYSERDA energy study
Summary
At its April facilities committee update, board members heard a student sustainability presentation, were briefed on an air‑filtration initiative at South Hill, discussed BGM bathroom odor fixes and expressed concern about the age and condition of Ithaca High School bleachers; the board expects a NYSERDA energy study report in May.
The board’s facilities committee reported April 29 on several facilities matters including a presentation by student sustainability advocates, an air‑filtration initiative at South Hill School, planned quick fixes for persistent bathroom odor at BGM and concerns about the age and condition of the bleachers at Ithaca High School.
Committee members said the South Hill air‑filtration initiative is moving forward in coordination with school and PTA leaders. An OACM (owner‑architect‑construction‑management) meeting discussed options to address BGM’s smelly bathroom situation, and committee members said they expect additional detail at the May facilities meeting.
Trustees said they are awaiting a NYSERDA energy‑study report and that the district continues to evaluate capital project timing and scope; December was discussed as a possible timing for a capital project but no decision was made at the meeting. Committee members also mentioned recent grounds work and landscaping at ACS and follow‑up on bleacher condition assessments.
No formal votes were taken on these items at the April 29 board meeting; the committee expects to present the NYSERDA results and additional recommendations at its next meeting.
