Facilities and Grounds Committee Report:
Ric Hacker, chairperson of the Facilities
and Grounds Committee, reported
on the success of this committee’s progress as a part of the district’s
five-year strategic
plan. The Facilities and Grounds Committee
is the last Committee as part of the five-year
Strategic Plan to report this year. Over
the past four months, each of the five
committees has reported to the BOE the status of goals and objectives for this
year.
Mr. Hacker shared that the Committee
had conducted three tours of the campus this year: high school, K-8 building,
and grounds. The Committee reported
items across the district that need to continue to be focused upon and
recommendations for next year. It was
strongly suggested that the Board of Education continue reminding the district
residents that the K-8 building was only the first phase of potential
construction and as soon as the Ohio Facilities Commission moves the district
up in eligibility the high school could potentially qualify for state
assistance for construction.
Additionally, the Committee shared several recommendations for further
improvements to both the buildings and grounds that were recommended for the
future.
