The district's facilities work identified several immediate and long-term needs.
HVAC
The district spent more than $300,000 on HVAC repairs in the previous year alone.
Needs identified include:
- Unit ventilators
- Boilers
- Controls
- Filtration systems
- Heating and cooling equipment
Roofing
Portions of every building require attention, and several existing roof warranties have expired or are approaching expiration.
Roof failures can result in damage to other building systems and can become significantly more expensive when repairs are delayed.
Safety and Security
Needs include:
- Alarm systems
- Public-address systems
- Secure vestibules
- Building access controls
- Other safety-related infrastructure
Electrical and Building Systems
The district also has aging electrical and mechanical systems that require significant capital investment. These systems are not visible in the same way as a new classroom or playground, but they are fundamental to keeping a school building operational.
