North Judson-San Pierre Superintendent Dr. Annete Zupin told school board members that repairs to the pool are finished. The final step in the project was being completed during the school board meeting Tuesday night.
During her report Dr. Zupin said, “The pool is filling with water as we speak, so it will be ready to go in January and we’re excited about that.”
The school corporation recently had to deal with an unexpected issue where corroded main drain boxes needed replaced and the area had to be re-tiled. The NJSP Swim Team was permitted to utilize Knox Community School facilities while the work was being done over the last few months. Zupin previously expressed her gratitude to Knox Schools for lending a helping hand.
Superintendent Zupin said that aside from the advantage being able to utilize the facilities for swim team practices and meets again, the pool can also reopen for faculty water aerobics classes and community swim.
Additional work will be done to the temperature control and de-humidification systems in the pool area when the capital projects commence next year. Work is expected to start in the spring and be completed in the summer in order for the facility to be ready by the 2018-2019 school year.
