Summary

Board committee updates said North Campus fountains will be replaced, Nathan Hale’s ADA playground received a stop‑work request but work will continue, and a South Campus ribbon cutting is scheduled for Oct. 23 at 3 p.m., marking the end of a multi‑year construction program.

School Facilities & Program Design Committee chair Susan Hambey told the Board that the committee met earlier and reported several facilities items: North Campus water fountains will be replaced; Nathan Hale’s ADA playground received a stop‑work request from Planning & Zoning but the work will continue; and a Ribbon Cutting ceremony for South Campus is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 3:00 p.m.

President Elaine Maynard‑Adams framed the milestone: “The Ribbon Cutting ends approximately 18 years of school construction and the District now has all updated schools which is quite impressive,” she said.

Committee members and board trustees thanked past board members and staff who worked on building projects. The committee’s update will be followed by the ribbon‑cutting event next week, at which board officials plan to celebrate completion of the district’s long‑running capital program.

Details: work on the ADA playground at Nathan Hale continues despite the stop‑work request; the North Campus fountain replacements and the South Campus ribbon cutting were listed as completed or upcoming items by the committee.
