December 8, 2011 at 4:30 PM - Facility Committee Meeting

Discussion:  Also in attendance were Mary Kay Haun and Tim Meisner.

Discussion:  Principal Haun showed the committee the condition of carpeting in the library, where it is unraveling, in room 112, where it is buckling, and in room 108, where it is worn threadbare. Haun requested at least two of the rooms be recarpeted as a summer project. The committee confirmed that this project would be a priority on the Master Facilities List and suggested that the third room could be done pending Lincoln construction costs.
