JCSD1 Facilities Director: Over $1 million in Summer Projects

Johnson County School District #1 will be completing over $1 million in projects this summer, according to Facilities Director John Zink.

The three projects are the air handler replacement at Meadowlark Elementary, the elevator modernization project at Buffalo High School, and the boiler replacement project at Kaycee School, with a combined price tag of nearly $1.3 million.

According to Zink, a good portion of the costs will be covered by the State’s Major Maintenance Fund.

In his written report to the board, Zink said that he will be replacing one of the three hot water heaters at Cloud Peak Elementary School, and that the state has completed the Facility Condition Assessment for every school in Wyoming, and he is expecting the report in April.

Superintendent Charles Auzqui told the board that due to the maintenance and repairs at the various schools, summer school for Buffalo’s Kindergarten through fifth grades will be housed at Cloud Peak Elementary this year.
