Dover campus vestibule, playground repave and summer projects reported as on schedule and on budget

Superintendent Dr. Goggin told the Westlake Board of Education that summer facilities work is progressing, highlighting a repainted playground behind Dover Intermediate School and an internal vestibule under construction to add a two-door secure entry at that campus. Dr. Goggin said the vestibule work has required extensive ceiling work and matching finishes; masonry work was scheduled to begin the week after the report and city inspectors had approved drywall work so crews could close walls. She described the security change as converting a one-door entry system — where a visitor buzzes directly into the office — into a two-stage entry where visitors first enter a vestibule and then request access to the main office. The superintendent said the intermediate-school building currently has the least summer activity and is on target; she told the board the project was “on budget” when asked during the meeting. Nut graf: The report gave the board an operational update on capital maintenance and school safety investments; work at multiple buildings is intended to be completed before students return. Additional summer items mentioned included building cleaning, routine grounds work, and readiness for summer programs. Dr. Goggin said the district has filled most hiring needs for the season and called this an “informative report.” Ending: Officials said the Dover vestibule and other summer maintenance tasks are expected to be completed in time for the school year; no change orders or budget overruns were reported in the transcript excerpt.
