Troup ISD updates facilities: elementary flooring, phased high-school roofing, practice field revitalized; bus grant pending
Summary
Support Services reported replacement of elementary flooring, ongoing phased roofing at the high school, revitalization of the grass practice field due to UIL practice guidance, and that bus-grant funding is pending (if received, four buses; if not, budgeted funds would buy one).
David Smith, speaking for Support Services, told trustees that elementary flooring has been replaced in the cafeteria, breezeway and library foyer to match K–2 hallways, and that the high‑school roofing project is proceeding in phases. "Phase two of the high school roofing project has begun. It covers the cafeteria, culinary classroom, dressing rooms, and gym. Phase three will cover the auditorium and band hall," Smith said.
Smith also described maintenance to the district practice field: because of University Interscholastic League (UIL) recommendations for turf fields to use wet-bulb readings to determine practice ability, the district revitalized its grass practice field, treated for stickers and bees, fertilized and repaired sprinklers so the field can be used moving forward. He noted the district is awaiting bus grant funding; "If received, the funds would allow for the purchase of four buses, but if not received, the money budgeted will purchase one bus."
