ESASD Property & Facilities Committee Meeting (August 5)

The East Stroudsburg Area School District Property & Facilities Committee met on August 5, 2026, to discuss several procurement and facilities-related matters. Key procurement topics included consideration of a proposed sale of the Resaca Elementary School sewer treatment system to Middle Smithfield Township for $1, with the township assuming maintenance responsibilities. The committee also reviewed plans to issue an RFP for forestry services to assess sustainable lumber opportunities on the district's North Campus property. Additionally, the district is preparing an RFP to explore leasing land on the North Campus to healthcare providers to establish community health facilities, potentially generating revenue and serving local needs. Updates were provided on ongoing capital projects, including HVAC upgrades, boiler replacements, and lighting control improvements, with payments and project statuses reviewed. The committee recommended forwarding the sewer agreement, forestry RFP, and healthcare RFP to the full school board for approval at the August 17 meeting. No new capital projects were proposed at this time, and discussions included potential minor facility improvements such as a covered walkway at the North Bus Garage. The meeting concluded with motions to advance key procurement items to the board and adjournment.
