The North Judson-San Pierre School Board formally approved payment for a project that had to be done prior to the start of the school year when members met Tuesday night.
Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin discussed the project briefly and reminded the board members that they had been contacted about it already due to the emergency situation.
She explained, “This was a chiller issue at the middle school and I emailed you when it happened because we needed to get that taken care of right before school started.”
She told the board that Maintenance Director Wilbur Collins submitted a synopsis of how the initial issue was alleviated and how something else was discovered during the repair.
Dr. Zupin read from his report, “The main shaft seal had a problem. We took everything out and we evacuated 500 pounds of Freon and we changed all the shafts. So we did all of that and in the meantime, we found something else that was wrong.”
She presented the board members with two different costs associated with the project which altogether totaled $29,000. Zupin added that the funds would come out of Capital Projects.
The board provided unanimous approval.
