John Glenn School Superintendent Christopher Winchell updated the school board on various ongoing projects throughout the school corporation during Tuesday’s school board meeting.
The Urey Middle School roofing work was mostly complete during spring break. However, the key FOB project has hit kind of a snag.
“We’ve just got a couple of doors at the High School and a couple of doors at Walkerton Elementary that we just can’t seem to tweak enough to make the system function the way it is,” explained Winchell. “So there are going to have to be some additional door replacements.”
An estimate might be around $40,000 to purchase those eight doors, but a more solid cost will be brought before the board in a future meeting after a further assessment is made.
In other projects, the LED upgrade at Walkerton Elementary School was done over spring break, and preliminary work is being done on the North Liberty Elementary Auxiliary Gym for an upcoming air handling system upgrade. The air handling system will be installed following the conclusion of the school year.
