Self Study Report

• Our perimeter security cameras are old and several are not operating; the entire suite of cameras needs to be replaced with more cameras and higher quality images delivered to more monitoring stations inside the school. • While our playgrounds have been improved in recent years, the remaining grounds, including a large unused space of uneven, poorly sodded surface area in the front of the campus, are in woeful shape. The grounds in general need better attention, including healthier grass maintenance and enhanced beautification. • In addition to the absence of outdoor beautifying touches, the grounds outdoors have not been maintained or are not being regularly straightened up in terms of old sports equipment, clothing, and other refuse not being picked up. Facilities Strategic Priorities • The overall maintenance contract should be revisited in such a way as to consider comprehensive indoor/outdoor campus options. • A study of our HVAC infrastructure should be done and factored into a long-term facilities sustainability plan. • All windows should be reexamined and considered for renovation in order to make them openable, with secure framing to block water seepage. • A beautification project should be initiated, or a committee that can oversee these elements of the outdoors should be established, in order to maintain trees, grounds, shrubs, plus treat several problems such as anthills, distressed turf, and dying plants and trees. • As mentioned above in the Financial Strategic Priorities, a fund should be established to support any extraordinary facilities repairs that we encounter or to make renovations whenever the opportunities arise for such improvements.
