Summer construction projects are being completed day by day as the 2016-17 school year approaches. In addition to the typical work of cleaning rooms, painting hallways and updating computer systems, six schools are undergoing construction to complete the $24 million capital project approved by voters in May 2013.
All asbestos and vermiculite abatement projects are complete, as well as upgrades to classroom lighting, HVAC controls, security cameras and storm drain replacement.
All four cafeteria expansions are expected to be completed this week. The masonry repairs at Donald P. Sutherland Elementary School will continue into the school year, but will not interrupt school operations as the work will be done after school hours.
