The gym floor at Fishers High School is 15 years old, has been sanded once, and is reaching its period of useful life.  Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools Facilities Director Matt Rapp told the Facilities Committee Thursday morning that the project replacing the gym floor is expected to cost roughly $72,000.  Rapp plans to review the proposal with the school board Finance Committee before presenting to the full board.

In other items before the committee:

–Lantern Road Elementary will be getting $500,000 in new furniture.  The furniture for classrooms should be delivered and installed by start of school in August of this year, but furniture for other parts of the building may need to wait until months later.  The overall work at Lantern Road should be completed by the start of school as well.

–Construction work at Fishers Elementary is on hold, waiting for approval of required permits, but should not delay the completion of the work on time.

–New weight room equipment at HSE High School will cost $120,000, but $50,000 of that money will come from the Athletic Department.
