District reports Ag & Auto facility resealed under warranty, $1.04M grant to fund equipment
Summary
Administrators reported a subcontractor resealed the Ag & Auto facility floors under warranty after a failed sealant inspection and said the district has roughly $1,040,000 from an Innovative School Model grant to buy equipment for Ag & Auto and STEM labs.
District administrators updated the Chester County School Board on capital projects during the Sept. 12 meeting, reporting corrective work at the Ag & Auto facility and grant-funded equipment purchases.
Speaker 2 said final walkthroughs identified unsatisfactory concrete sealant in shop and classroom areas; the subcontractor returned the same day and resealed the floors under warranty, and Beau (referenced in the transcript) reviewed the work and reported satisfaction. "He said to me that satisfied," Speaker 2 said, recounting Beau's assessment.
Speaker 2 also announced the district will spend approximately $1,040,000 from the last year of an Innovative School Model grant on equipment—such as a paint booth, tools and vehicle lifts—for the Ag & Auto facility and on STEM lab items that will support CTE expansions at the junior high. Connectivity, maglocks and intercoms remain to be completed; installation of lockers and sodding of the practice field were also reported near completion.
Speaker 2 said the district will proceed with requisitions allowed by the grant and hoped to have the Ag & Auto space ready for classes by the fall break window, subject to remaining installations. The transcript indicates warranty coverage for the reseal and that no additional change order was required for that corrective work.
