Summary
Operations reported a newly delivered operations truck awaiting outfitting, completion of painting in the high-school science wing, a winter deep cleaning plan from the vendor, routine HVAC filter changes, and that furniture planning will resume after the state budget decision.
Mr. Watley, the district operations lead, told the property committee the district received a new operations truck that still needs outfitting (logo, lift gate, plow and salt equipment). "We are very, very excited about that," he said, and noted vendor work remains to complete the vehicle for winter operations.
Watley summarized routine and scheduled maintenance: painting of the high-school science wing has concluded and painting will continue in other wings; the cleaning vendor submitted a winter deep-clean plan including power washing with a foam sanitizer for bathrooms; and HVAC filters are being changed across units.
Kara thanked Charles and bus drivers and acknowledged student appreciation for recent classroom painting. She said furniture discussions for teacher spaces were paused pending the state budget and will resume after winter break, beginning with a first phase involving teachers in the "lower house."
Katie Davenport asked how to obtain the district operational plan; Kara said she will provide the prior presentation and supporting materials to Davenport so she can review the five-year operational and capital priorities that were previously approved by the committee.
No votes or formal board actions were taken during the operations update.
