Summary

Facilities staff gave the annual OE‑12 report showing 3,932 work requests for the year, reported $256,000 in energy savings (with $176,000 in rebates) and introduced a new vape‑alert report (Central recorded 287 alerts, 163 during school hours); the board accepted the report as compliant.

Facilities staff presented the OE‑12 monitoring packet covering capital planning, preventive maintenance, HVAC and roof life‑cycle data, and safety and incident reporting, and the board accepted the report by roll call.

Joe Laviena and the facilities team highlighted operational measures: the district completed 3,932 work requests in the reporting year (about 1,800 more than the prior year), maintains preventive HVAC contracts, and conducts annual safety vulnerability assessments at each site. The report also included life‑cycle planning for HVAC, roofs, and other systems to inform future capital replacement timing.

On energy, the district reported net savings of $256,000 for the year and $176,000 in utility rebates tied to efficiency measures; Jeff Olson and staff said they received a Focus on Energy efficiency award. Laviena also introduced a new vape‑alert report: "If you look at the vape report at Central there was 287 alerts. 163 of those alerts were during the school day," he said, noting Logan reported an even split of alerts during vs. after school.

Board members asked about access control logs, visitor systems and safety drill practices; staff noted 100% controlled entry during student‑occupied hours and regular inspections and correction of fire‑department findings. The board voted to accept the OE‑12 facilities report as compliant for the reporting period.
