The Germantown School District's buildings and grounds committee confirmed annual building tour dates and received a staff preview of facilities projects expected in the coming months.
A staff member told the committee that the district would hold tours Sept. 8 at the district office, County Line Elementary, MacArthur Elementary and Kennedy Middle School, and Sept. 22 at Germantown High School, Amy Bell and Rockfield. "The recommendation is actually updated to September 8," the staff member said, and members agreed to a roughly 4:30 p.m. start for many sites so tours occur after buses and school activities.
Committee members discussed outreach and attendance; one member noted that PTA volunteers and members of the public typically attend and suggested multiple communication channels. Members asked staff to confirm times and send a follow'up email to solidify logistics.
The committee also reviewed a proposed regular "in the works" report intended to provide advance notice of building and grounds projects. The staff member listed near'term items including grease trap review at GHS and Kennedy Middle School, playground mulching at elementary schools, installation of a batting cage and artificial turf at Kennedy Middle School, culvert work and relocation for the Amy Bell crosswalk, and sinkhole repairs behind the high school auto shop.
Committee members requested photos of the sinkhole and asked staff to track whether installations funded by the referendum are failing so the district can plan corrective work and budgeting. The committee moved on after confirming that staff would follow up with a schedule and additional project details.
