District reports facilities upgrades, HVAC monitoring and safety work on athletic fields
Summary
Director update described facility work including exterior LED lighting, athletic field boards and irrigation, HVAC monitoring software and new cameras at the high school; maintenance standards were discussed.
At the Molalla River SD 35 work session, district facilities staff summarized recent and ongoing capital and maintenance work and noted a district standard for property upkeep.
The update matters because facilities condition affects safety, learning environments and the district’s long‑term maintenance planning.
Director Tony Tiano (identified in the meeting as the facilities lead) told the board the district had reached 95 of 100.3 indicators on a district standard scale for facilities and has made improvements on several items: exterior LED lighting at the middle school for safety, new scoreboards at athletic fields, irrigation upgrades and additional cameras in high school hallways and gym areas to improve security. Tiano said the district introduced a monitoring system for HVAC equipment that allows staff to check temperatures and equipment remotely, which he described as “huge” for maintaining consistent classroom conditions.
Board members and staff noted most facility metrics are trending positively and that the few remaining yellow items are being addressed (Tiano called recent eating failures at the middle school a fixed issue). Speakers thanked the facilities team for establishing discrete standards and for monthly reporting to the board.
Ending: The board moved on to the finance and communication sections after the facilities update.
