During the Greencastle Community School Corporation’s monthly school board meeting on March 28,  the board was presented with updates to the various projects for schools’ improvements.

The Greencastle Middle  /High School football field and track is nearly complete. Only minor details are now needed and the contractors are discussing when they will be completed. However, the track is ready to go the first home track meet on April 5.

The High School and McAnally construction and remodeling is underway. The general contractor is set to move on-site the beginning of April. However, this is a longer project and the board members were reminded that it will not be completed until December 31, 2023.

GCSC is currently taking bids (through April 12, 2022) for the Tzouanakis Elementary air infiltration. This project is designed to seal up the envelope of the building and prevent the high humidity that has been an ongoing issue for the school. Some of the plans include using similar material to that used in restaurant grade walk-in freezers as that material is designed to contain moisture.

They’re also working towards securing the entrances to TZ, Ridpath, and Deer Meadow. Only minor construction would be needed to update the entrances. Superintendent Jeff Gibboney stated the school corporation was aware of the need to update physical activity areas, but felt the safety of the students was more important and should be completed first.

Also updated Monday night, the Middle School renovations for the Media Center and Science Room area are taking bids until June 2022.
