Alma School District reports painting, flooring and turf repairs across campuses
Summary
District staff reported a paced painting program (four rooms per school per summer), a roughly $10,000 bid to repaint Crabtree next year, replacement of flooded middle-school flooring and astroturf work at the high school; a hallway bump at the high school was removed and will be replaced.
Speaker 3 briefed the board on several facilities projects, describing a multi-year approach to repainting classrooms and reporting recent repairs completed after weather damage.
The district reported painting four rooms in each school this summer and said it is following a steady, budgeted approach to refresh classrooms (about four to five rooms per school per year) rather than funding a single large project. Speaker 3 said principals choose which rooms are painted.
Speaker 3 said the district received a bid to paint Crabtree that ‘‘is gonna be about $10,000,’’ and that the work may be scheduled for next summer. The speaker described the school’s exterior as faded and in need of a fresh coat.
On recent repairs, Speaker 3 said a backed-up drain at the middle school allowed water into the library; the district replaced carpet and portions of the kitchen serving area, and is recarpeting four classrooms. At the high school, the astroturf was pulled out and is being replaced. Speaker 3 also described removing a large air pocket or bump in a high-school hallway; replacement was scheduled within the following two weeks.
The board did not vote on funding changes at the meeting; project scheduling and contractor selection were described as ongoing staff actions.
