Summary
Mister Fisher updated the board: roof replacement at Carver began, septic work at New Mountain Hill was completed, gym floor resurfacing was finished over the break, Syntegix alerts were low for December, Evolv screening alerts remain near 10%, and the district received certification to provide in‑house third‑party CDL testing (first local test Dec. 22).
Mister Fisher told the board the Carver roof replacement began the prior Monday but crews delayed the start until temperatures were suitable; the project is progressing and is expected to finish on schedule. He reported New Mountain Hill’s septic repair was completed and the site seeded and that gym-floor resurfacing at the high school was completed over the Christmas break.
On safety systems, Fisher said the Syntegix December alert report showed a quiet month with two drills, two behavior alerts, and three inadvertent presses (training or accidental demonstrations rather than lockdowns). Evolv screening continues to report about a 10% alert rate; Fisher said many alerts reflect personal items or electronics rather than weapons.
Fisher described a two-year effort to achieve certification to administer third-party CDL driving tests locally through DDS (department driver services). The district completed its first local test on Dec. 22 and received audit recommendations to shorten driving tests to about 20 minutes (the audit found prior tests ran nearly an hour); Fisher said certification will let the district perform testing in-house and reduce reliance on neighboring providers.
Board members asked about maintenance schedules, gym-floor lifespans, and whether the district expects revenue from offering external testing; Fisher said revenue is modest and the primary benefit is operational efficiency and quicker certification for district drivers.
