Summary

Directors flagged a pushed gym door jamb with missing screws, broken soap dispensers in a cafeteria restroom and limited custodial coverage at Mist School; administration will provide a repair timeline and follow up on custodial scheduling for weekend events.

Board members reported facility and safety issues at Mist School: a pushed metal door jamb in the lower gym with missing screws and a temporarily taped-off entrance, soap dispensers out of service in a restroom used for weekend events, and questions about custodial coverage for cleaning and maintenance.

"If you guys want, I can get you an update on the damage and the plan to correct everything, and I can send that to you guys," the superintendent said, agreeing to obtain a full assessment and timeline for repairs. Directors said they observed the door jamb had shifted and that screws were missing and requested confirmation about whether water damage contributed to the issue. The superintendent said a replacement threshold plate is ordered and that he would follow up with Mark (maintenance) for specifics and a schedule for repair.

Board members also pressed administration to ensure soap and paper-towel supplies are restocked before weekend events and to consider a plan for more consistent custodial attention or limited extra hours for instructional assistants to cover deeper cleaning tasks. Administration committed to ordering replacement dispensers and to returning with a maintenance status update.
