The Board of Education and I are pleased that phase one of
the 2008 21st Century Instructional, Health and Safety
Capital Project has been completed. Phase one allowed the
district to create 21st century classrooms, develop a Salmon
River Middle School, and renovate the art and music
departments in the high school. We are equally pleased with
our new technology and home and careers classrooms, as well
as new office areas for the student services programs, and
new classrooms for the Salmon River Elementary School. In
addition, the project included creating a new geothermal
heating system, a competition soft ball field, and a
soccer/lacrosse field.
We are now ready to move
forward with phase two. Th e initial project in 2008 had a
signifi cant amount of work that needed to be done, totaling
some $70 million. Th e Board focused on completing only that
portion that was covered by state aid. Phase two will
address failing roofs, along with deteriorating water and
mechanical systems. Renovations will focus primarily in the
elementary school. The additional classrooms that were
developed in phase one will now permit us to move forward
with renovations to the outdated open classrooms, signifi
cantly improving safety. In addition, our kindergarten
classrooms all need to be moved to the interior of the
building and away from the entrances, also improving
security.
The health and safety of our students and
staff is always a priority. The ability to upgrade
and
maintain our facilities to ensure an environment that is
safe and secure is of the utmost importance, and this
capital improvement project will help us achieve that goal.
