District facilities staff presented an update on Goal 4 of the Lewisburg Area School District comprehensive plan, walking trustees through completed and planned projects and funding sources.

Vince (presenter on facilities) summarized recent and upcoming projects and timelines. Items reported or discussed included:

- Track and turf: The track installation was projected to be finished by May 8–9 so students and teams can prepare for district and state competitions; turf was completed in a prior season and the track contractor was finishing surfacing and exchange-zone markings.

- Scoreboards and bleachers: Two new scoreboards were quoted (one for the junior-high football/soccer field and one for the middle-school turf/field-hockey area) with CoStars pricing and an installation quote from a vendor; sponsorship space on junior-high boards could offset costs. Softball scoreboard installation was delayed until the week after the meeting.

- Security and access: Through a PCCD grant the district purchased cameras (the presenter listed 43 360-degree cameras, 34 exterior/interior cameras and eight dome cameras) and planned to add fobs to roughly 10 doors across three buildings; the fob installations were expected to occur in the following two weeks.

- Roofing and abatement: A roof-replacement project was scheduled to start after school (staff mentioned a June 9 start date for the current phase); some abatement and flooring work in three middle-school classrooms was planned for June.

- Building maintenance and interior work: The middle school received an exterior cleaning and brick sealing, additional painting and mural restoration during spring break. Staff also showed a new copy-room installation in the foyer to reduce staff copier traffic. Trustees discussed potential reconfiguration of space (for example, converting a library alcove into a small seminar classroom) and options that include removing underused lockers or repurposing storage closets.

- Grants and partnerships: Staff listed several funding partners: the PCCD grant (security cameras/fob work), the Public School Facility Improvement Grant (roof work), a USDA award of $60,000 toward tennis lights (community use tied to the grant), and continuing fundraising support from the Green Dragon Foundation. E-rate funding had been used previously to rewire the middle school; district technology staff are comparing device replacement options and testing two-factor authentication solutions to meet vendor security requirements.

Trustees asked questions about costs and prioritization, and staff said many projects depend on available capital-fund transfers and external grant funding. Several trustees emphasized visible improvements (cleaning, painting, signage and wayfinding) that can improve daily instructional environments even without large capital outlays.

What’s next: staff will continue prioritization and bring project proposals to the board as funding becomes available; several projects were described as ready to start over the summer if funds and scheduling permit.
