Improvements continue for Cloverdale Schools

While there have been some changes already to schools within the Cloverdale School Corporation, more is coming, according to superintendent Greg Linton. 

The changes have included improvements to the weight room at Cloverdale High School, as well as new carpeting and a refinished gym floor at Cloverdale Middle School and a handicap-accessible playground at the elementary school. In addition, cleaning of roofs took place, as well as the addition of SMART Boards and new ovens. 
The handicap-accessible playground was paid for with a grant, while the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds paid for the other projects. 

"The weight room was the first phase in upgrades and has been very well received by our student athletes. Participation in our weight lifting program has increased significantly, which should support the success of our athletes across all sports," Linton told The Putnam County Post. 

According to Linton, more changes are coming. 

"We plan to start the upgrades as early as March of this year with plans to have all projects completed by the beginning of the next school year," Linton said. 

In addition, Cloverdale Schools will see improvements to the security at the entrance of all three of its school buildings. 

"These upgrades will add additional layers of security prior to anyone from the public gaining access to any of our buildings," Linton said. 

With that said, Linton said even more is coming to the schools. 

"The tile flooring in all three school cafeterias will be replaced with new vinyl flooring. Inside of the entrance of Cloverdale High School will be remodeled, creating a commons area for students. All of the restrooms at Cloverdale Elementary School will also be remodeled," Linton said.
