• Installation of a new gymnasium floor at Lost River Jr/Sr High School
• Seismic design and construction at Chiloquin Elementary
• New flooring and windows at several schools
• Creation of secure entrance vestibules at Peterson and Chiloquin elementary schools

“Summer is a busy season for our crew, but also a rewarding one. The work we do now ensures that students and staff return to safe, updated, and welcoming spaces.,” said Dennis Zullo, KCSD maintenance and project supervisor. “We take pride in the wide range of skills on our team, and we’re grateful for the support of the contractors and subcontractors who partner with us to make these improvements possible.”
