Superintendent reports progress on sprinkler, roof planning and Western well; gym repairs remain ongoing
Summary
The superintendent said a sprinkler contractor is on site at the high school with work expected before December and possibly by September, the middle-school roof is being scoped for an RFP, and the Western well application is in Q&A with permitting authorities and backed by bond and EPA grant financing; gym equipment and scoreboard repairs are still being completed.
During the March 12 meeting the superintendent gave a multi-part facilities update, reporting active work on a high-school sprinkler installation, planning for a middle-school roof replacement, and permitting and financing steps for a Western school well.
The superintendent said the sprinkler contractor has been selected and workers are on a second shift (about 2–10 p.m.); while the contract deadline runs to December, staff ‘‘preliminarily believe this will probably be done closer to September.’’ Regarding the middle-school roof, staff plan to issue an RFP and discussed whether to complete the job in a single summer or stage it across two summers to limit disruption, with priority spaces (for example, the auditorium) identified to minimize impact on classrooms.
On the Western well, staff reported the project is in a question-and-answer phase with the reviewing agency (transcript: referenced as ‘RHO’); the well is budgeted in the bond and the district has also secured EPA grant financing, contingent on final approvals. Staff warned that an easement issue remains in process and that in the worst case the project plan might be adjusted slightly.
The superintendent also reviewed outstanding post-project fixes at the high school: missing wall padding, a winch problem on the basketball hoop (staff plan a toggle switch with automatic shut-off), shot-clock communication that required a software patch and a strict operational sequence, and a jumbotron sound connection that maintenance fixed by running conduit and cabling. Some fixes required vendor visits and parts and staff said warranty work covered most repairs.
No votes were required for the facility updates, but the committee received the information and asked clarifying questions.
