Board updated on Sherwood and Heritage pool repairs; wet asbestos found and addressed
Summary
Superintendent reported progress on the Sherwood Pool project with a cost-reducing roof discovery, ongoing water loss at Heritage Pool, sidewalk and bus-loop work, portable classrooms ready but held by the state, and discovery and remediation of wet asbestos in a kitchen ceiling.
Superintendent Jamie Kraatz told the board the Sherwood Pool renovation is moving forward and that contractors discovered an existing roof assembly with insulation, which will reduce project costs. Kraatz also reported that Heritage Pool is losing water and the issue is being addressed.
The superintendent said some district sidewalks have been repaired, and the bus loop required more milling than originally planned; the district is exploring alternatives. Portable classrooms destined for Weiss and Westdale are ready and have electrical hookups, but their use is on hold pending state approval. Kraatz additionally reported that wet asbestos was found in the Sherwood kitchen ceiling and "has been addressed," according to the minutes; no further remediation details or contractor names are included.
The minutes link these facilities updates to the broader capital planning context and to the board's subsequent action to call a bond election, but they do not specify project budgets or timelines beyond these operational notes.
