Fire alarm, security gates and lighting among summer projects; middle school progress reported
Summary
Operations lead Mister Simpson said the district secured final state fire-marshal approval to replace the North Side fire alarm system with an August 3 target, completed most security gate work and made progress on painting, restroom resurfacing and gym lighting projects across the district.
Mister Simpson reported that the Office of State Fire Marshal has given final approval to move forward with the North Side fire alarm replacement and the district has scheduled contractors with a target to complete the work by August 3, ahead of the school start date. He said security-gate installations are 99% complete at the high school and TCTC, restroom resurfacing at Cottageville is finished, and Forest Hills received multipurpose/gym lighting upgrades.
Simpson outlined a phased schedule for middle-school renovations — academic wing work is finished, lobby and commons work is underway, flooring projects will begin in July when materials arrive, and lighting upgrades will convert fluorescent tubes to LEDs. Board members asked about bleacher repairs (completed in April) and gym air-conditioning (a single unit had been down but was corrected). Several trustees praised custodial and grounds staff for summer progress.
