District maintenance report: Palm Bay construction, playground repairs, and field work on schedule
Summary
District operations reported progress on HVAC and parking work at Palm Bay Elementary, scheduled sidewalk and playground repairs at the Montessori and kindergarten sites, progress on the Costa field, and other routine maintenance; Keenan's liability inspection praised the district's site upkeep.
District maintenance and operations staff told the board that routine systems are operating normally and several capital and repair projects are moving forward. At Palm Bay Elementary crews were installing HVAC units and work on the parking layout was visible; the operations officer said concrete curbs have been poured and progress is proceeding "at a good pace." The Montessori refurbishment and a proposed new sidewalk to connect the Montessori building to the main campus were discussed and are scheduled for board consideration at an upcoming meeting.
Staff also reported site-specific maintenance needs: repairs to a kindergarten playground where tree roots have created surface humps, replacement/repair of an intermediate playground surface that is deteriorating, and field work behind portables affected by a prior septic-tank installation. The board was told the district received a Keenan property-liability inspection report that praised site maintenance: "the school sites are very well maintained," staff read from the summary. Trustees thanked the operations team for the upkeep and the report contained project timelines tied to spring break and summer work windows.
