Board hears update on thermostat communication issues and elevator repair timeline
Summary
Board members discussed thermostat/graphics page communication problems causing temperature discrepancies and an elevator part delay at a two‑story elementary school. Staff said in‑house fixes and vendor troubleshooting are underway and estimated the elevator repair would likely be finished by early summer.
Board members pressed staff about HVAC control and thermostat issues that have left thermostats and classroom temperatures out of sync in multiple buildings. Staff said they are implementing in‑house fixes while coordinating with the software vendor to resolve communication errors.
"We're on the phone with the software company to figure out what the issues are," Brian Matty (Speaker 9) said, describing ongoing vendor troubleshooting. Members also asked about an elevator at a two‑story elementary school that is awaiting a part; staff said the repair is most likely to be completed by the end of the year or early summer and noted interim accommodation plans to move affected classes to first‑floor spaces.
Staff emphasized all discovered issues from referendum or other bidded projects are being charted, tracked with contractors and communicated to legal counsel when appropriate.
