The board approved necessary renovations for the pre-kindergarten rooms, addressing concealed piping, installing a new condensation line under the floors, and adjusting window sills due to wall modifications. These renovations, totaling $25,500, are part of a larger project funded by a remaining budget balance of $449,000. The board emphasized the importance of proactive problem-solving in construction to ensure future stability and avoid costly repairs.

In budget planning discussions, a board member suggested forming an ad hoc committee to facilitate more detailed and private budget discussions between the board and the administration. With only three more meetings left for this member, they urged the board to consider this approach as budget season approaches. The board agreed on the importance of strategic planning and transparent communication in budget preparation.

The meeting also touched on updates from a local advisory board meeting, including planned road work on Radburn Road and inquiries about forthcoming lighting installations on lower fields. The board was informed that Radburn Road would be closed for milling and paving in early November, coinciding with school closures, which might affect extracurricular activities. Additionally, the installation of lights on the lower field is anticipated for the spring, weather permitting.
