Bond Project Update

Westwood Intermediate School & Westwood Middle School
 
At Westwood Intermediate, the summer project included new air handling systems in all of the classrooms to provide a healthier, more consistent air exchange. The district also abated asbestos floor tiles in the classrooms and installed carpeting. Thirty-five year-old casework was also replaced in the classrooms. The district upgraded the plumbing and replaced rusted, hollow metal windows. Finally, the district made the bathrooms fully handicap accessible.
 
While Westwood Middle School had no work done this summer, the summers of 2008 and 2009 will be very, very busy.
