The facilities committee reported multiple capital and maintenance needs: asbestos removal, continued roof maintenance, ceiling tile replacement, locked elementary bathroom doors for security, and an aged fire alarm panel needing replacement (approximate immediate cost cited at $18,000 for lentils replacement).

The committee recommended further research and budgeting steps to address facilities needs over the coming months.
