GSL School Board hears updates on roof, tennis courts
Business Manager Michelle Sander updated the Glencoe-Silver Lake School Board on the Panther Field House roof repair and other construction projects at its regular meeting Monday evening.
Sander said the Panther Field House roof repair involves repairing the exterior walls on the perimeter of the roof and the penthouse. She said the repairs are about 60 to 65 percent complete and that no unexpected surprises have come up.
She said the sodding is done around the new Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) playground and almost finished around the new tennis courts.
She added that she’s received good feedback about the new tennis courts and said that the bleachers and tennis shed will be placed next year on the courts.
“This year, with the brand new asphalt and remaining hot days of summer, the contractors said ‘no way’ about putting the bleachers up,” Sander said. She said the new asphalt is still soft and the weight of the bleachers and tennis shed could ruin the surface.
