Sharon Elementary HVAC project, high‑school folding doors and other capital work advance amid budget planning
Summary
Board committee reported a multi‑million dollar Sharon HVAC project funded by ROD grant work to proceed over the summer; bids for high‑school folding doors and other facilities upgrades were advertised for later award.
Robbinsville’s business committee reported progress on capital projects that district leaders said will proceed despite operating budget pressures.
Administrators said the Sharon Elementary School HVAC project — described in the presentation as nearly a $4 million ROD (Remediation of Deferred Maintenance)‑grant funded project — will replace nearly all wings of the elementary building except one over the summer. The administration said it would submit required grant paperwork (ROD packet) so the district can recoup a portion of the costs after construction is completed.
The board also advanced procurement planning for high‑school folding door replacement and auditorium audiovisual upgrades; the administration said those items have been advertised and expect award at a future meeting. A middle‑school energy audit was completed over spring break; administrators said the district will weigh immediate energy upgrades against waiting for a future funding cycle because state grant availability has been constrained.
Other capital items reported included replacement of bottle fillers and water fountains, parking and shading work at the preschool, and a completed cricket pitch donation at Sharon, which administrators said will support fall enrichment and athletic options. Technology and security upgrades noted on the business committee’s summary include installation of Promethean interactive boards and consolidation of email domains under a robbinsvillek12.gov government domain planned over the summer.
