ROTTERDAM
School project nearly finished
Both facilities should be ready for start of year
BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter

    When Schalmont students return to school next month, they’ll find warmer classrooms, modern bathrooms and the absence of a repugnant smell that has lingered for years in the middle school gymnasium.
    The district’s $9.7 million capital project is well under way and expected to wrap up on schedule. Business Administrator Mark Kellett said construction work throughout the campus should finish before classes begin in September, save for the installation of new classroom windows.
    “The project is on time and within budget, which is a real plus,” he said Friday. “We’re halfway through the summer construction season and expect to have the buildings ready for occupancy by the time classes start.”
    In October 2007, Schalmont voters narrowly approved the project, which relies on a 28 percent district contribution. The project is primarily funded with state EXCEL and building aid but also relies on rental income generated from the former Schonowe school and a slight increase in the tax levy.
    Most of the work is being done on the original 1957 wing of the high school. So far, crews have replaced the gym’s lighting with more energy-efficient fixtures and paved a gravel lot near the athletic fields. Drainage and paving work on the main entryway is coming along.
    Work continues on the weathered and stained exterior of the building, the leaky roof over the original wing and a cafeteria reconstruction project. The building’s 52-year-old bathrooms are also getting an overhaul.

This is how Schalmont's Board of Education replies to the public when they ask questions.  Spend millions without giving a call back on any issues.  I'm STILL waiting for a call from the Superintendant on things that happened 2-3 years ago.
