District facilities report: high school finishes, pool repairs, solar power dashboard coming online
Summary
Facilities and operations staff told the board that finish work at the high school is nearly complete, the pool grout/acid-wash will delay full reopening until early October, solar generation is active pending a final dashboard connection, and transportation adjustments and new bike racks aim to ease first-week disruptions.
Facilities and operations staff provided updates on several construction and operations projects.
At the high school, door hardware and window installations are in the final punch-list stage; staff said sliders and glass were recently installed and some finishing furniture remains. Facilities noted the gym floor and stadium light repairs are complete.
Work on the pool will include grout and an acid wash; staff said the timeline has been accelerated where possible but some repairs will be deferred until next summer to allow more thorough bidding and lower cost. The district is targeting early October for reopening and will re-drain and perform larger repairs next year if necessary.
Energy-efficiency upgrades yielded expected rebates: staff said the district will receive over $80,000 from DTE after minor additional investment. The solar field is generating power and district staff expect to finalize a dashboard connection to show generation and savings.
Transportation staff described early-week bus routing adjustments to reduce overloaded buses, added bike racks to multiple school sites and emphasized lighting and crosswalk work on high-traffic routes. Staff said they—re monitoring routes and will keep lights on at problem crossings.
No formal board action accompanied these updates; staff asked the board for continued patience as finish work and system tweaks are completed.
