Big Spring SD details summer maintenance, plans boiler conversion and TV studio remodel
Business manager Christy Lens reported on summer work including tankless hot‑water replacement at Oak Flat, brick repointing at two schools, a middle‑school oil‑to‑propane boiler conversion, security‑camera upgrades and a high‑school TV studio remodel; projects funded mostly from the general fund assigned for capital projects and one school‑safety grant.
