Today is a great example of why we are asking for a bond to build a new primary building. TODAY there was a leak in the boiler room. There are approximately 30 gallons of water and fluid from the HVAC system on the floor. Specialists were here to attempt to get water to run in the floor drains. They could only get the snake 18" in one drain and 3 feet in the other. The floor drains are completely collapsed and unusable. Maintenace staff will have to shop vac the fluid. This is an example of an issue in the primary building that is not fixable. As we shared in the video tour, if this happens on the weekend the fluid would be all over the building.

Attention warrior fans
As we near the early voting stages for the bond, I'd like to share the comparisons of the $37 million bond issue versus the estimated $29 million to renovate the existing primary building. Please see the image of the renovation estimate or visit the Resources page of the Bond 2025 website: https://sites.google.com/sblschools.com/ref24/resources?authuser=0
