Operations report: HVAC work complete; elevator communications moved to cellular to save $20k+ annually
Summary
Operations staff reported completion of seasonal HVAC work, elevator communication conversion from landline to cellular expected to save more than $20,000 per year, and ongoing projects with ISBE maintenance grant exploration for summer 2026.
Operations and facilities manager Jeff Tumpane updated the board on facilities work completed over recent non-attendance days, including HVAC seasonal conversion tasks, fire alarm upgrades, replacement of pull stations, and construction punch-list items. He reported the district completed the conversion of emergency elevator communication from landline to cellular service, which he said will allow the district to move away from AT&T and save more than $20,000 annually.
Tumpane and Ryan Evans reported that a "2007" section roof inspection yielded encouraging results and that they are exploring an ISBE maintenance matching grant with a projected timeframe of summer 2026. The operations report also noted updates to substitute teacher onboarding and continued work on emergency communication tools.
