Superintendent outlines scholarships, greenhouse proposal and multi‑year bond projects
Summary
Superintendent Lombard reported $444,000 in scholarships for the Class of 2026, proposed a greenhouse to support a new horticultural/agricultural program, and updated the board on multi‑year bond projects including roofs, HVAC planning, door replacements and outdoor learning space planning.
Superintendent Lombard summarized academic highlights and capital planning on May 18, reporting that $444,000 in scholarships were awarded to members of the Class of 2026 and presenting a potential greenhouse installation to support a new Horticultural/Agricultural program.
Lombard reviewed bond‑funded and sinking‑fund projects: a new roof on the former transportation building, a pole barn set aside for the agriculture program, a recently installed middle school fire panel, planned replacement of nearly all exterior doors at the middle school this summer, and multi‑year HVAC and roof replacement planning with major air‑handler work anticipated in summer 2027 and possibly extending into 2028. He also reported that EGLE 'Filter First' filter installations are scheduled between the end of the school year and summer school start, and that community recreation budget payments are expected by the 2026–2027 school year.
The superintendent requested board approval for classroom furniture (later approved in a separate motion) and noted Facilities Committee work on Outdoor Learning Spaces; detailed timelines and funding allocations for several large projects remain in planning and will return to the board for further approvals.
