Facilities director reports LED upgrades, new vehicles and repairs across district
Summary
The director of facilities updated trustees on capital maintenance: most lights converted to LEDs with rebates, gym-floor refinishing, new 2025 F-250 plow truck, two 2026 Bluebird school buses, and several building repairs scheduled during the holiday break.
The district's director of facilities reported a string of operational updates: roughly 95% of fixtures in the building have been converted to LED lights (yielding rebates), the gym floor has been refinished, and the district took delivery of a 2025 F-250 plow truck and two 2026 Bluebird buses. Several targeted maintenance projects are scheduled for the holiday break, including repairs to a broken pipe outside the art room and work on an aging pneumatic heat system at Lakeview.
The director said some fixes are low-cost, pragmatic solutions (frosting gym windows with spray paint rather than expensive tinting), while other items — notably older boilers and a planned cooler replacement — remain larger capital projects to be coordinated with the district's energy-performance contract. He also described a pilot to hire students for part-time cleaning roles through National Honor Society community-service transitions.
