Rye Elementary School
Bond Allocation: $1,341,000
PROJECTS:
Upgrade Roof of Original Building
A new roof will be installed on the original sections of the building, eliminating problematic leaks in the gym. The new, high-quality roof system will have a 22-30 year life-span, is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Gutter Replacement
All gutters will be replaced to direct rainfall away from both the roof and foundation.
Fix Southern Building Drainage Issue
The drainage issues found at the south end of the building will be fixed and the broken concrete replaced. This will be accomplished by running pipe below the ground and redirecting the runoff to the grass area below.
School Entrance Concrete Extension
The concrete located in front of the school will be extended/raised for safety reasons and to give the entrance a better look. This will help with the build-up of ice found along the adjacent wall during the winter season.
Address ADA Issues at Front Entry
The front of the building will be made ADA accessible by adding a ramp leading from the main parking lot.
Replace Parent Loop Sidewalk
The sidewalk found along the parent loop will be replaced and widened. A curb will be added along the loop to promote safety and help distinguish a designated drop-off area for students to use.
Install Safety Doors
A set of safety doors that can be used to remotely close off the entrance corridor will be installed just outside the office area for added security.
Access Controls for Exterior Doors
Keycard access will be added to six high-use exterior doors. Keycard access provides easier access for staff and provides additional security.
Install Window Film
All exterior windows will have 3M window film installed. This reflective film improves privacy and security by preventing people from looking in. In addition, it increases the energy efficiency of the building by reducing the heat gained through the window.
Upgrade Electrical Infrastructure
The building’s electrical distribution system will be upgraded to accommodate an increased demand due to modern teaching tools such as computers and tablets.
Classroom Storage Upgrade
The sinks found in the older classrooms will be removed and countertop will be installed to provide storage on top. Cabinets will be added to the older classrooms to provide additional storage in those spaces.
