The committee approved $35,000 to repair and replace the wooden guardrail and associated cleanup at the middle school retention basin after receiving multiple letters from students calling attention to the condition of the fence.
School staff said the request focuses on the inner retention area where students wait for buses and that the intent is to replace deteriorated post-and-beam wooden guardrail while reusing any salvageable material; an initial estimate of $27,000 covered the inner area but the schedule included a larger $65,000 line-item, so the committee approved $35,000 to allow for updated quotes and contingencies. The motion passed on a voice vote.
