Superintendent outlines construction updates, traffic and student-support plans ahead of school year
Summary
Superintendent Thomas J. Colabufo reported Aug. 25 that the high school front wall should be finished before school starts, the middle school construction and signage for pick-up/drop-off are progressing, a crosswalk and blinking beacons are planned, and the Redhawk Program held a meet-up for students needing support.
Superintendent Thomas J. Colabufo briefed the board on facility and student-support updates at the Aug. 25 meeting. He reported that the high school front wall "looks very nice, it should be done by the start of school," and that the middle school construction is progressing with signage being created for pick-up and drop-off patterns.
Colabufo said the district plans to add a crosswalk and blinking beacons and that the posted speed limit signage has already been set to 35 mph. He also asked parents to use the new driveway routing for dismissal and noted that buses will continue their existing wait pattern at the high school. The superintendent praised custodial and maintenance staff: "I would like to send a huge shout out to Paul Brissette and his custodians and maintenance, the buildings look beautiful, even though there was a capital project going on at the same time they all had to do their jobs."
Colabufo also noted student supports, including a Redhawk Program get-together for students who are having a hard time adjusting. The minutes reference budgeted capital-project funds approved in earlier years to pay for many of the completed items; the superintendent said that most work was approved previously and that the funds were put aside as part of the capital project.
