The Wabash District #348 School Board has approved several summer maintenance projects.
At Monday night’s meeting, Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer presented plans totaling more than 90-thousand dollars in improvements at district buildings.
At Mt. Carmel Elementary School, the board approved just over 12-thousand dollars to reseal and restripe the parking lot.
Meanwhile, at the grade school, the largest portion of the work includes more than 62-thousand dollars for the replacement of six doors.
Additional projects include just over 7-thousand dollars for new awnings and more than 11-thousand dollars in restroom renovations aimed at improving cleanliness and updating aging facilities.
Bleyer says the projects were reviewed and approved by both the Building and Grounds Committee and the Finance Committee prior to the board’s vote.
Funding for the improvements will come from the district’s one-percent sales tax fund, which is designated for facility upgrades and maintenance.
