John Glenn Superintendent Updates School Board on Ongoing Projects

The John Glenn School Board members were updated Tuesday night about ongoing projects in the corporation.

Superintendent Christopher Winchell said the key FOB project is nearly complete, but two older doors need to be replaced in order for that part of the project to be done.  The software system will need to be initiated to have that fully functional.

Winchell added that the St. Joseph County BZA members approved a zoning variance for the construction of solar panels on the grounds of the North Liberty Elementary School. 

Winchell stated, “The final step is on Monday night at the North Liberty Town Board meeting for the final, final stamp of approval, but we have mobilized the contractors and they’re ready to start Tuesday morning the 19th.”

In the last update, Winchell said the John Glenn High School gym floor will be ready for the first round of the bi-county tournament Monday, January 18.  Winchell said this will be considered a soft opening of the gym, as a grand opening is planned later this year.  The gym floor was completely replaced after termite damage was found last spring.
