Facilities updates: new boilers, paving, tree trimming and an auditorium lighting replacement plan
Summary
Board members reported two new boilers installed at Darby Township and the kindergarten center, paving nearly complete, a request to trim trees near an elementary school, and agreement to replace the 20+-year-old auditorium lighting system before the December play.
At the Oct. 16 committee meeting, a board member reported facilities work: two new boilers installed at Darby Township and two at the kindergarten center are expected to be operational the next day, and a kindergarten-center paving project should be completed shortly.
Board members also discussed grounds maintenance; one member requested tree trimming along Calfin Hook Road because taller elementary students risk injury from overhanging branches. Facilities staff agreed grounds crew would handle the trimming.
A theatre-parent board member raised ongoing lighting problems in the Academy Park auditorium that distracted recent performances. Finance and facilities staff said the lighting system—more than 20 years old—needs full replacement, and they will prioritize attention before the December play, offering an interim fix to turn off the malfunctioning light for upcoming shows.
No formal motions or votes on capital projects or procurement were recorded in the committee transcript.
