Updates on Summer Projects

This summer we have several projects in the works that you might like to know about.

• At the middle school, new security cameras will be installed- these are updated from the older models we have.  
• The roof seams are being repaired at the elementary school.  The roof on the main building was guaranteed until 2014 so we have some work to do to keep the roof in good condition.
• Rooms are being rearranged at the elementary school to accommodate full day kindergarten classes.
• Our tiling project in the elementary school cafeteria is finished- it looks fabulous.
• An emergency access road will be put in at the high school- with only one entrance/exit it is imperative that we have a  way for vehicles to get into and out of the high school in case of emergency. We are currently working with  engineers to plan its location.
• All buildings are being thoroughly cleaned- Todd Ledoux, Facilities Director, has a tight schedule with summer school classes, recreation programs and ESY students in our buildings for most of the summer. Cleaning consists of every piece of furniture in every class removed so that walls, floors, and built-ins can be washed.  Everything that was taken out is also cleaned before being returned to the class.
• Computers are being inventoried, re-imaged, and refurbished as needed District-wide.
• Interviews and hiring is on-going as we replace staff members who have retired or left the district.
• A new outdoor classroom was built at the elementary school.
• We are working with the town and UNH to place educational nature signs along the trails at the elementary school.
• We are also working with the town as plans go forward for a new town well located on high school property.

All in all, everything is going well within our schools as we prepare for another school year.  Todd Ledoux and his crew are doing a wonderful job to keep our schools clean and safe, as well as, to protect and ensure the longevity of these important resources.  Again, if you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached at the SAU offices at 895-4299.
