Superintendent reports bond work at West and East Carteret; culinary lab, art room nearing completion
Summary
Superintendent Pailer updated the board on West Carteret and East Carteret construction: HVAC balancing and small finishing tasks at West Carteret, and a completed culinary lab plus near-complete art room at East Carteret with a target finish before Thanksgiving.
Superintendent Mr. Pailer told the Carteret County Board of Education on Nov. 5 that work continues on bond-funded projects at West Carteret and East Carteret high schools and that several facilities are near completion.
"The two projects still are West Carteret and East Carteret," Pailer said. At West Carteret crews are finishing small jobs and are working to balance the HVAC system to reduce band-room noise; at East Carteret the culinary lab is complete and the art room’s flooring, ceiling and sink installations were underway, with cabinets expected and a completion date set for before Thanksgiving.
Why it matters: The updates signal progress on capital projects that affect instructional spaces and program delivery; the superintendent also used the time to recognize staff and community efforts and to flag upcoming holidays and events.
Other points: Pailer recognized career development coordinators and National School Psychology Week, congratulated Joey Guthrie and the transportation team for a favorable safety review, and reminded the board of upcoming dates including the next regular meeting on Dec. 2.
Next steps: Construction teams will finish remaining installations and staff will bring completed spaces into service after final inspections; the superintendent listed administrative and community events tied to ongoing operations.
