XVIII. Superintendent's Report
A.
Informational
Superintendent Dale Bonfield updated the board on the following items:
- Family Bathroom - there has been a push from the state for school districts to install family bathrooms. Many schools have not done so due to the high cost of approximately $1 million dollars. He asked for guidance on whether to continue with the plan to install the family bathroom or to use the money for other areas.
- HVAC - There are problems on the hot water side of the system. Sediment was found and needs to be flushed out, which is taking more time than expected and costing an extra $50,000.00.
- Greenhouse - The plans for the new greenhouse didn't come in as early as expected. It will be another 6 weeks before they arrive. The district is trying to get the concrete poured so the building can be constructed in December and ready to go by Spring. However, the company won't send the plans until the concrete has been poured.
