Superintendent Rob Underwood provided updates at the Monday evening board of education meeting regarding several projects happening on campus over the summer months.
Some of the highlights include an upcoming flooring replacement project in sections of the high school that include the auditorium, north end classrooms, the high school media center, the choir room, the band room and several offices.
“The floors in the 1997 addition of the high school are original carpet and they were in dire need of replacement,” the superintendent said. “Thanks to some ESSER II federal funding that we recently received, we were able to use that money to fully fund the project.
“Also as part of this project, we are going to give a facelift to our 1968 locker rooms which are just off the main gym.”
The total cost of the flooring project is approximately $205,500. Most of the project will be complete before school begins.
Underwood also explained that the event parking lots at the high school and the drive between the high school and middle school are currently being paved as part of a revolving annual paving program.
In other matters, the board accepted the retirement resignation of longtime elementary aide Terry Beck, and accepted a $5,000 donation from Quest Federal Credit Union to the Indian Lake FFA pole barn project.
The Indian Lake Board of Education will meet again at 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 16, ahead of the district’s open house night.
