North Clay School Board Gets Update on Construction Progress

North Clay school board members were updated on the district's construction project at this month's meeting.

Superintendent Keith Price said work completed in the past month include painting inside the new gym; continued mechanical/electrical/plumbing installation throughout the addition; demolition of the south stairs at the high school; the painting of the second floor existing high school hallway; gearing up to open the new stairs for use by the end of the month; fiber cement panels installed on the exterior; and completion of the TPO roofing installation.

Price also reported on the collapse of the Pre-K playground canopy due to the snow load. The collapse occurred during the weekend while no students or staff were present. Replacement and repairs are getting scheduled.

The Board hired Steve Stortzum as a part-time bus driver and provided the Administration permission to hire non-certified staff, as needed.

Board members heard from district resident Athena VanDyke about her desire for the district to continue to pursue and offer a music co-op opportunity with the Flora school district.
