Project Reference: Ms. Sheila Tufankjian, Ex. Director for School Business Administration, 315-656-7262

Project Program:In Phase I, six buildings in the district received telephone upgrades, the roof was replaced at Minoa Elementary. The most significant work in Phase I was at the Pine Grove Middle School/Woodland Elementary campus. Work here included widening the existing road at Fremont Road, resulting in two exit lanes. We expanded parking, installed site lighting, and improved parent drop-off configurations as part of the project. The final piece of Phase I work was the reconstruction of existing curbs and walks at Woodland Elementary and Pine Grove Middle School campus.

The centerpiece of Phase II is work at the transportation center, which includes renovations to the existing space and a 3,500-square-foot addition for special needs buses and equipment storage The Phase II project also included site work at Minoa, Park Hill and Fremont Elementary Schools for improved traffic flow, parking, and bus access. Complete window replacement at Woodland Elementary and partial at the Central High School. Other work at various buildings includes roof replacement/repairs, site lighting, fire alarm system replacement, lobby upgrades/renovations for added security, and reconstruction of drives, curbs, and sidewalks. Also included in Phase II was the implementation of the $316,017 Federal COPS Secure our Schools grant. This included adding closed circuit television and added door access control in every building.

Challenge: The biggest challenge was the scheduling of the work around the school schedules and activities. Major site work was scheduled in detail over the summers to assure its completion before the start of the following school year. The work at the Transportation Center required the relocation of its operations for a few months but not longer so the phasing of the work and scheduling around it returned operations was necessary.
