Rex Eighmey, the director of facilities for the Pavilion Central School District, gave the Board of Education on Monday a complete rundown of all the work his staff is performing during the summer months.
It’s more than just keeping the lawns mowed and the floors buffed — which board members praised as always extra shiny — it’s repairs and upgrades, among other items.
A few of the items he mentioned:
- Clean all furniture, windows, floors, ceilings;
- Perform maintenance on the HVAC system;
- Unpack and assemble new furniture that comes in and place in the appropriate rooms;
- Retrofit some of the high-pressure sodium lights outside with LEDs;
- Clean and repair concession stands at sports fields;
- Maintain and repair sports fields;
- Repair baseball and softball dugouts;
- Replace some whiteboards and blackboards in classrooms; and,
- Replace condensation pumps in the cafeteria.
Among several other items that have kept work crews busy all summer.
