There are projects going on at every school! The snowfall in February put a few things behind but we are back in gear for a timely finish to all of the winter projects! Some highlights include:
Mildred L. Day School - The water filtration system was upgraded in February. The gym floor will be
re-lined, and two classrooms will receive new floor tiles over the April break.
Kennebunk Consolidated School - The safety film installation for the front atrium and the front door access system has been completed as well as repairs to the outdoor storage buildings. The sewer connection line between the building and town needs a rubber coupling replaced and the contractor will repair that as soon as the ground thaws. In the interim, the line is being cleared frequently to keep sewage from backing up into the building's restrooms.
Sea Road School - Roof repairs over the library and repair of painting of various interior and exterior
areas are completed, and painting and projects will continue the interior and exterior throughout the spring and summer. Two big projects for the spring/summer months are the soundproofing of the music room and the replacement of parking light poles.
Kennebunk Elementary School - This school also has an upgraded door access/camera system and the safety film installed in the atrium. A gas hot water heater was also recently replaced.
Middle School of the Kennebunks - There were door frame/post repairs completed along the glass
hallway, an upgraded door access/camera system, and the safety film installed in the atrium. A classroom furniture project was separated into two years due to budget constraints imposed on this year’s school budget, so the first half is complete and the second half will be done in the upcoming school year.
Kennebunk High School - The Hot water systems issue in part of the building is being addressed due to a computer screen/sensor issue that should be here and completed before the end of March. Ongoing work for the exterior includes a new weather alert system being installed (to alert coaches and players of nearby lightning) and field work for all sports venues to prepare for the spring sports season.
The Nutrition Staff continues to excel at providing new and healthy options as well as some
entertainment for our various schools and are working hard to keep our students healthy and happy!
All exterior sports fields, which are used both by the schools and the various towns’ recreation leagues, are being readied for spring and summer sports. The RSU 21 team supports and maintains all of these fields all year round.
Operations Director Richard Terwilliger-Smith is responsible for scheduling the buildings, fields, and equipment for all athletic events held by the schools and the towns whose park/recreation departments use for youth activities during the spring and summer season.
