Update: Grant dollars make repairs possible
You may recall at the end of last school year the district had to remove several pieces of playground equipment. Those pieces were 20 plus years old and had outlived their ability to be used safely. We have begun the process of repairing and replacing the entire playground area including replacing the playground equipment, the tennis courts and creating an outdoor learning area. The district is able to accomplish this by using ESSER grant money (COVID funds). Grant money paid for 70% of this project. The remaining 30% has come from the PTO and the district's permanent improvement fund.
Like the playground replacement, the district has been able to use grant money to update the HVAC units and controls this summer. We were able to replace two aging chillers, also 20 plus years old. These chillers have been replaced with a larger, more efficient chiller, using ESSER grant dollars (COVID funds), a $100,000 dollar grant from ODSA and district permanent improvement money. Grant money paid for 80% of this project.
And Finally, the district has done some significant repairs and replacements to the building roofs. Each of the repairs have a 15 year life expectancy and the replacements have a 20+ year life expectancy. Grant money (COVID funds) paid for 100% of this project.
Counselor Quote of the Day: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
