The FCHS Board held a special section Thursday Evening in the district office at Fairfield Communitt High School. Board Members heard a proposal on how a remodeled Mule Barn would look like.
Items on the renovation include a new gym floor, bleacher renovation, a new sound system, widening of the aisles, led screens, volleyball sleeves, exhaust fan replacement, electrical, and scoreboards. According to Remedy, they say the bleachers would be retrofitted with a vinyl bottom with aisles being widened and handrails being added. Principal Wells noted to the board that he had looked into replacing the motors on the currently bleachers and current costs of the motors according to him are not worth the effort.
According to information discussed at the meeting, a total of 4 LED screens would be installed potentially in place of the trophy kiosk that was discussed to replace the trophy case.
The proposed new sound system would have 10 top, mid and high end speakers with 4 low end frequency speakers as well as a new rack enclosure. The renovation would call for a pair of new LED scoreboards. The scoreboards in the gym were updated in the early 2000s.
The new gymnasium floor would be a level 2 floor. Board members asked the difference between grades 1, 2, and 3 with 1 being a top tier, 2 being middle of the road, and 3 as serviceable.
No decision was made on the renovation of the gym at the meeting. Superintendent Diane Zurliene mentioned that a decision needed to be made by next week so the project could begin around May 1.
