RSU 26 board reviews $467,000 capital-priority list; paves way for vendor quotes
Summary
The board reviewed a prioritized capital plan built from the district's $500,000 annual capital allocation and supported projects including ASSA classroom renovations, OHS bathroom upgrades, football-field electrical panel replacement, Goodridge Road repaving, roof repairs, and new safety sensors tied to a COPS grant.
RSU 26's leadership presented a sharpened capital-improvement plan and the board agreed to move forward with vendor quotes for prioritized projects.
The superintendent outlined a list of projects totaling roughly $467,000 within the district's typical $500,000 annual capital allocation. Key items included multiple classroom renovations at ASSA to complete a rolling renovation by wing; replacement of an athletic electrical panel serving the football field (described as a safety issue); one set of bathrooms at the high school redesigned as near-single-stall units with sensor-compatible openings; repaving of Goodridge Road and the adjacent parking lot and regrading at the soccer-field walkway for drainage; roof repairs for a space with ongoing leaks; and installation of bathroom safety sensors (primarily vape detection) timed with wiring work under a COPS grant.
Board members expressed support for the prioritized list and requested staff bring vendor quotes for the most expensive items (paving, ASA classroom renovations, high-school bathroom) to a subsequent meeting for approval. Members also flagged pedestrian-safety concerns near the ASA entrance and suggested the district coordinate with the town about a possible crosswalk or speed-mitigation measures.
What comes next: staff will obtain vendor quotes for the listed projects and present those quotes and finalized contract requests for board approval in future meetings.
