Board members described a community-led effort to replace the C Building greenhouse roof that relies on donated supplies and volunteer labor. Work was scheduled to begin the following morning at about 7 a.m.; a roll‑off container and most materials were already on-site and a porta‑potty delivery was pending.
Speakers credited Tim and his company, Broadcoat Builders, for donating labor; Leah Shipps’ employer donated nearly $1,000 in sheathing as backup. A board member said the superintendent and several board members secured donations and lowered material costs through local partnerships, and the board intends to accept any donations over $1,000 per its gift acceptance procedures.
Staff also noted logistical follow-ups: lunch and site staging for volunteers, tagging and removing long‑stored classroom materials from inside while the dumpster is available, and follow‑up letters so donors can claim tax deductions. Board members framed the project as an example of community trust‑building that addresses an immediate facility need without requesting new funding.
Next steps: volunteers will complete the exterior work (strip and shingle schedule discussed), staff will accept and document donor contributions that exceed the board’s threshold, and interior cleanup will proceed while the dumpster is on site.
