Facilities committee flags ramp handrails, heat detectors as top Health & Safety priorities
Summary
Committee member Derek Hilliard said ramp handrails are an 'A' health/safety item and hopes Stukey will repair them over the break; heat detector installation and thermostatic mixing valves were listed as 'B' items with a multi‑year window.
Committee Co‑Chair Kevin Gas convened the Oak Grove School District 68 Facilities Committee on Sept. 8, 2025; the committee reviewed Health, Life & Safety (HLS) items identified in recent inspections.
Derek Hilliard, a committee member, reported that ramp handrails are on the district's highest priority HLS list. "The ramp handrails remain a health/safety “A” list item and Derek is hoping to have Stukey fix them over break," the minutes state. Heat detectors were identified as a secondary ("B") priority with an estimated three‑ to five‑year timeline for completion, and thermostatic mixing valves for classroom sinks were also categorized as a B item.
The committee discussed scheduling and procurement: Derek said he will coordinate the handrail work with Stukey over the upcoming break and staff will track timing for heat detectors and sink valves given the multi‑year window. A Health/Life/Safety inspection by the regional office of education is scheduled for Sept. 17 at 8:00 a.m.; the committee noted the inspection as a near‑term checkpoint for HLS follow‑up.
