Facilities work update

I've just scanned in the memo (page 1; page 2)  the School Committee received on Friday with an update on the summer 2011 project work. You might remember that there was some work that didn't get finished by school opening.

• Clark Street: has eight classrooms with new flooring; eleven renovated bathrooms; new lockers; new water fountains; and much painting. There's a bit of painting still to go; otherwise, Clark Street is done.
• Goddard: Goddard has the old "bathrooms in the basement" set-up in the older building (that's the left-hand one, if you're standing on Richards Street). Those bathrooms have had a really nice renovation (and props to the staff and students for dealing with limited bathroom access for December and January!), which are now done. A similar renovation is being done in the newer (right) building once school gets out for the summer. Painting is now done throughout the building. 
• Tatnuck Magnet: two major bathroom renovations this summer. There will also be new flooring installed this summer in some areas.
• Worcester East Middle Schools: on the science labs...they've been sent out to bid more than once. We were also denied funding under MSBA (who, alas, went with "only high school" for their secondary science lab renovation funding!). The Worcester Public Schools is currently waiting to have the City Manager authorize the remainder of the $3 million allocated for school building rehabilitation ($1.3 million remains), before this work can proceed.
