Superintendent reports facility upgrades and a roughly $8,000 repair needed for elementary portico
Summary
Superintendent Hannah Eastkins told the Whitehall School District board the high school’s ventilation repairs are nearly complete, exterior painting and siding should finish by July, tile removal revealed subfloor damage delaying new planks, a decades-old windmill appears nonfunctional, and a damaged elementary portico pillar will cost about $8,000 to repair.
At a Whitehall School District board meeting (date not specified), Superintendent Hannah Eastkins reported on summer facility work and several unexpected repairs. She said the high school ventilation system repair and upgrade is nearly done and the exterior paint and siding work should be completed by the end of July. “They started right after school ended, and we’re right on track,” Eastkins said.
Eastkins described complications from tile removal in the varsity gym lobby and elementary lobby that revealed gouges in the concrete subfloor requiring leveling before installing new planks. She also reported a decades-old campus windmill is leaning and likely no longer producing power, and the district is exploring how to dismantle and disconnect it. On the elementary campus, Eastkins said a vehicle appears to have damaged a front portico pillar; a contractor (Groundworks) will repair it at an estimated cost of about $8,000. “It’s gonna cost about $8,000 for that repair, but we have to do it,” she said. Eastkins said she will review camera footage to try to determine when the damage occurred.
