District executes Schneider Electric Phase 2 HVAC contract, hires Mel Rogers as facilities director
Summary
Operations staff said the district executed a Phase 2 contract with Schneider Electric to expand HVAC automation, installers are training on thermostats and the district expects Mel Rogers to begin as director of facilities and grounds in May.
District operations staff reported the district has executed a Phase 2 contract with Schneider Electric to complete HVAC automation work and said installers have been training on thermostats to enable remote programming and monitoring.
A district director told the board the contract follows prior work discussed at the last meeting and that Johnsonville High School thermostats are being brought online. The director also said the district hired a new director of facilities and grounds, Mel Rogers, who is tentatively scheduled to begin in May.
On the condition of the high‑school track, the director said subsurface water is the cause of persistent wetness; crews have added mixed concrete in places to shore up the surface and staff expect the area to dry and become usable as weather warms.
Why it matters: the contract work is intended to modernize HVAC controls and enable more efficient remote operations; hiring a facilities director is an operational staffing change the district cited as part of ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
No formal procurement vote was recorded during the discussion; the administration reported contract execution and staffing updates to the board for their information.
