on this and have it finalized and ready for approval at the February board meeting.
Building and Maintenance
Update on some of the projects we have been working on and looking at for improvements for the buildings.
The backboard and supports that raise out of the way are in. They will raise the goal out of the way
of spectators.
We will be getting new mats for the entry way into the Blue Building and the entry to the gym.
Should look sharper and help cut down on the dirt and rocks carried onto the gym floor.
Looking at getting permanent record boards for the Litchfield track, one-act and speech boards in the
entry hall of blue building. Then use those display cases for current student successes.
Looking to replace the banners in the gym with newer and fabric that’s not faded. Use the same
Litchfield colors and hang the current ones in the Trojan gym.
Mr. Drew and Mr. Blauvelt are looking into improvement to the weight room and curriculum. Hope
to an updated proposal in February.
Looking at replacing handrails and wood going up the stairs in the main building. Furthermore,
replacing doors and door jams. This would be a summer project.
Beginning to look at an upgrade to the science room cabinets & lab stations.
