Facilities Committee: September 10, 2026

The Council Rock School District Facilities Committee met on September 10, 2026, to discuss several ongoing and upcoming capital improvement projects and maintenance issues. Key procurement-related topics included the repair of the 15-year-old pool liner at the natatorium, with the district obtaining three quotes for welding liner strips over vertical joints at an estimated low cost of $21,000. The committee also reviewed the summer 2026 playground renovations at four elementary schools, noting a change order of $8,230 for additional drainage base and storm pipe rerouting at Rolling Hills, which remains within the overall budget. Additionally, the installation of new north bleachers was delayed due to manufacturer production issues, with installation expected to complete by the end of September. A significant discussion focused on storm water infiltration and potential collapse of underground piping beneath the North building, causing flooding in the cafeteria and hallways. The district is working with CHA to inspect the storm water system and develop repair options, with costs to be covered by the district's capital reserve fund and projects likely scheduled for summer. The committee emphasized the need for timely repairs and ongoing maintenance funding to address aging infrastructure and ensure minimal disruption to school programs.
