Summer Crews Busy at Dayton Schools

DAYTON – The summer maintenance crew at the Dayton School District has been working on completing a number of summer projects, Superintendent Doug Johnson reported to the school board last week. Projects include:

Three sections of concrete were repaired, two where tree roots had lifted and ruined the sidewalk along North 2nd Street and a large section at the end of the elementary school where the cement and asphalt are decayed.

Preparation continues for the upcoming oil and sealcoat process on the elementary playground asphalt and high school gym parking lot. Cracks and holes will be patched and filled, then the oil top coat applied. The project is intended to prevent further damage to the surfaces via water damage in cracks and freezing and thawing action. Following the seal-coat process, lines will need to be repainted for parking and elementary games.

Classrooms, offices, and miscellaneous spaces have been painted; normal floor maintenance to carpet and hard surfaces. Construction projects include a tricycle storage shed located at the east end of the elementary, installation of a shower in the special education department, and adding a window to one of the offices in the administration building that increases access to the public.
