Summary

Buildings and grounds staff reported FEMA approved delivery of 34 tons of mulch after recent flooding and described classroom modifications to mitigate overcrowding, with the playground expected to be open on the first day of school.

The buildings and grounds report said FEMA approved mulch following a flood, and crews delivered and spread 34 tons so the playground will be open on opening day: "we got FEMA to approve the mulch and got 34 tons." Staff also described converting a windowless, crowded classroom into subdivided spaces and creating offices to better use available space while work continues at other sites.

Board members acknowledged the work and thanked custodial and maintenance staff for preparing facilities ahead of the school year. The report also noted ongoing stripping, waxing and painting projects to prepare buildings for students and staff.
