The Board of Education presented and discussed proposed Capital Projects for the 2024-2025 school year
The Board of Education reached consensus on the following Capital Projects which will be on the March 4th, 2024 agenda for approval.
- Lower Turf Field renovations
- Replacement of existing turf that is at end of life. This will include new technology that will reduce field temperature up to a purported 35 degrees. It will allow our students to enjoy a cooler, safer, and more comfortable synthetic turf experience.
- Expansion of 30 feet in totality to address safety by reducing transition points between the turf, concrete and grass.
- Replace temporary gas powered lights that have been on the lower field for the past three (3) years with permanent lights. These new lights will have limited to no light spillage outside of the field area and will eliminate the sound of generators.
- HS/MS Culinary Room renovation
- Elementary sink and counter/cabinets replacement - year 1 of a proposed three year project
- HS Gym exterior concrete stair replacement
