The East Stroudsburg Area School District's Property & Facilities Committee made significant progress on several key projects during their meeting on October 1, 2025. Notably, the construction of the natatorium is approximately 75% complete, with a projected finish date set for October 10. The project has faced some challenges, but the contractor, Munroofing, is diligently working to ensure the facility is weathertight and ready for colder temperatures.
In addition to the natatorium, the committee discussed the North Transportation Facility, which is currently about 50% through its design phase. An architect has been hired to assist with this project, and a meeting is scheduled to further review the plans.
The Southfield House Heating project is nearing completion, with final installations expected soon. Training for boiler operations is also on the horizon, ensuring the system will be ready for the heating season starting October 10.
The committee also reported that the Bushgill boiler replacement is ahead of schedule, with final inspections planned for October 9. This timely completion is crucial as the heating season approaches.
Other discussions included updates on technology projects, such as the boardroom audio-visual upgrades, which are set to begin in November and conclude by December. However, delays were noted regarding the TV studio updates at JTL, which are pending permits and may not be completed until the next school break.
The meeting concluded with a decision to table discussions on the Ed Christian Alumni Memorial Stadium renovation for further review in November. This reflects the committee's commitment to thorough planning and community engagement in future projects. Overall, the updates indicate a proactive approach to improving school facilities, ensuring they meet the needs of students and staff alike.
