District reports summer facilities upgrades, HVAC and camera work
Summary
District staff reported repaved parking lots, roof and stucco repairs, gym floor refinishes, HVAC and boiler refurbishments, and expanded camera coverage; projects are slated to finish as school opens.
District staff provided a detailed report on summer facilities projects, saying multiple maintenance and safety upgrades are complete or underway.
The district’s staff member who delivered the report said the parking lots were repaved and relined and the elementary and high school roofs were repaired after winter leaks. The speaker noted that more than 60 stucco repairs were made to the middle school eaves where woodpecker damage had accumulated and that all three gym floors were refinished.
“We have been really busy this summer with lots of facilities projects,” the staff member said, summarizing the scope of the work. He told the board that 14 rooftop heating units at the high school were connected into the building HVAC so they can be controlled digitally instead of requiring manual roof access. He said the change will improve temperature regulation and reduce exposure to conditions that previously forced rooftop resets.
The speaker described a multi‑stage refurbishment of the elementary boiler broadly identified as “boiler number 2,” noting the unit was originally delivered with a cracked weld and is being disassembled and resealed; a replacement condensate tank also is being installed. A district example of a safety improvement: sprinkler work at the daycare building was completed, enabling landscaping and further outside work.
Security and monitoring were highlighted: staff reported testing every camera over the summer and adding cameras where blind spots existed, including the front of the elementary school, with the camera project expected to finish within the first two to three weeks of school. The presenter said chemistry lab countertops were resealed and high‑school front doors were stripped to bare metal, primed and repainted after nearly two decades of layers of paint.
Staff thanked custodial and summer crews by name for their work and said several projects remain in progress heading into the school year.
No formal board action was required on these reports; the updates were informational and the board moved on to new business.
