Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to inform you of recent issues affecting the HVAC system on our Middle School/High School campus. As you may be aware, we have experienced ongoing challenges with this system, and more recently, complications with the cooling tower have intensified these concerns.
Please know that the district is actively working on a strategic plan to address both the immediate needs and establish a long-term solution. While we previously implemented a phased approach to replacing the HVAC system, the current situation has prompted us to reevaluate that plan. We are now exploring options to accelerate certain aspects of the project in order to better respond to the present circumstances.
As part of this process, we are carefully reviewing all potential solutions while maintaining our fiduciary responsibility to the district. This includes evaluating costs and determining the most effective and responsible path forward. It is possible that a temporary solution may be necessary as we work toward a comprehensive, long-term replacement of the system.
Due to these challenges, portions of the Middle School/High School campus may be without air conditioning for the remainder of this semester and into part of the summer. Our goal is to have a fully functional air conditioning system in place for the entire campus by the start of the next school year.
We understand that this situation is not ideal and appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support as we navigate this unexpected issue. Please be assured that we are committed to providing a safe and comfortable learning environment for all students and staff.
Supt. Scott Riddle
