District maintenance and facilities leaders briefed the Carroll County Board of Education on completed projects, ongoing renovations and operational performance during the June work session.
Mike Beers, the district’s director of maintenance, told the board the maintenance team remained at 28 personnel and credited cross-training and a school facility lead liaison program with improved responsiveness. Beers said the district processed about 8,100 work orders since adopting the SchoolDogg work-order system and that the average time from work-order entry to closure was 2 days, 6 hours.
"We did 8,100 work orders and our average time from the enter and creation of the work order until it was closed out on completion was 2 days 6 hours," Beers said. He told the board the SchoolDogg system allowed schools to embed photographs in work orders and streamlined documentation for maintenance staff.
Beers and other staff highlighted infrastructure and construction work: the operations center relocation for maintenance, completed projects at Central Middle and Mount Zion, ongoing renovation at Mount Zion Middle and Temple Middle (on schedule for opening day), tree clearing and early demo for Glenn Heindman renovation, and planning for a five–high-school practice-facility package tied to bond funding. Staff also reported ongoing softball/baseball improvements and STEM lab installations at middle schools.
On building security, the district continued a multi‑year program to replace keyways and locks across schools; Beers said four schools were completed this year and only a few remained to reach systemwide completion.
Board members raised parent‑traffic and playground relocation questions related to Temple Middle; staff confirmed temporary procedures will remain in place until construction is complete and said the new drive and playground moves are timed to minimize disruption.
Next steps: staff will bring Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and bid recommendations for major projects to the upcoming Thursday meeting after refining late bids; work on Mount Zion and Temple projects is expected to be substantially complete for opening day.
