In a meeting marked by progress and anticipation, the Interboro School District's Board convened on February 1, 2025, to discuss key developments in school infrastructure and technology. As the evening unfolded, board members highlighted significant advancements in both the high school renovation project and the district's internet connectivity.
One of the standout decisions made during the meeting was the approval of a contract with Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC. This agreement aims to enhance internet access across schools, libraries, and other entities within the regional web wide area network, a move that promises to bolster educational resources and connectivity for students and staff alike.
Turning to the ongoing capital improvements, Mr. Evans from the Capital Improvement Committee provided an update on the high school’s Phase 1 renovations. The cafeteria's relocation is nearing completion, with staff training on new kitchen equipment set to begin in March. The board anticipates that students and staff will be able to explore the new additions around March 17, with a special preview planned for them.
In addition to the cafeteria updates, the construction of the Kindergarten Early Learning Center is progressing well. Demolition has been completed, and framing for new walls is underway, alongside essential electrical and plumbing work. The district is also preparing to enhance outdoor play areas, with plans for playground installations to commence as soon as weather permits.
As the meeting wrapped up, the board expressed optimism about meeting their construction timelines and improving educational facilities for the community. The next board meeting is scheduled for March 5, 2025, where further updates on these projects are expected. The evening concluded with a sense of accomplishment and a commitment to continue enhancing the educational environment for all students in the district.
