Summary

School facilities staff said the school experienced daily electrical shutdowns this week for panel and transfer-switch replacements tied to the new service work; Superintendent Barbara Wilson and staff coordinated schedules to accommodate the outages.

Mike Sylvester, director of school facilities, told the committee that, "the school is having Electrical Shut Downs daily for Panel and Transfer Switch Replacements this week." He said the outages are a consequence of the new electrical‑service installation work and that Superintendent Barbara Wilson and her staff were coordinating their work schedules accordingly.

The committee did not record any formal directive beyond noting the operational coordination. The minutes show staff are managing the disruptions while awaiting Eversource's installation of the permanent service; no dates for service completion were provided in the minutes.
