This is the Jonesville High School chiller. It provides air conditioning throughout the building. It's the only school building that has air conditioning throughout it. It is the original unit. We had to have it serviced recently and we learned that the compressor and the control board are no longer manufactured. Additionally, the filter has to be replaced and the refrigerant it uses is being phased out.
The committee felt this was important to replace as the high school serves many functions aside from academic and athletic. We host other community events here as well.
I need to make a correction about the bond Q&A for tomorrow, Tuesday, October 3rd. Someone pointed out that the high school will be running multiple games, so I am moving the Q&A to the elementary library. It will still be at 5:30 just at the elementary library now. Hope to see you tomorrow! Go Comets!
Today, our PBIS Ticket winners got to play board games, go rock climbing, do water balloon slingshot, and play minute to win it in the cafeteria! The kids had a blast!
The playground equipment was a P1 that the committee, and kids, felt needed to be addressed. The district insurance provider, SET SEG, did an analysis of it and there were five pieces that were out of compliance. I've attached some pictures of what they were referencing. The clear plastic that you see was because we had to remove a slide due to it being a hazard. Metal slides are no longer in use because of the danger. The other two pictures show the decay that has occurred over time. The playground is frequently used by the community.
Please read attached for an update and some great news!
The lockers were selected due to their age, functionability, and wear and tear. The current lockers are too narrow for today's student. They receive heavy use and are falling into disrepair. The committee felt that replacing these with more current lockers was important for students and building. This will also brighten up a heavily trafficked area.

I (Superintendent Weatherwax), will be holding a bond FAQ at Jonesville High School next Tuesday, October 3rd at 5:30. All are welcome to come and ask the questions they have about this very important bond. Hope to see you there! Go Comets!!!
Bond Focus
Mark your calendars! Picture day is next Tuesday!
The bond focuses on 3 areas: Safety and Security, updated furniture/teaching technology for 21st century, and critical infrastructure repairs/renovations.
This is the entryway at Jonesville Middle School. A safe and secure entryway would place a wall just inside the entryway (there would be door access as well but locked). During school hours, a visitor would ring to get inside. They would be allowed in but then they would still be in a secure vestibule. They would then have to be let buzzed in through the office (adult) or the school (student). This adds another layer of security for our staff and students.
Schools around the country have gone to this model and our high school currently has it. We need this at the elementary and the middle school. Go Comets!
Here is an, understandable, summary of the November 7th bond. Please read!
