We are accepting bids for Snow Removal Services.
A recent inspection at Central Elementary confirmed the need for system replacements. Over time, Parchment's hard water has caused corrosion, rotting equipment, and pump leaks in the old equipment. Our facilities plan allows for updated water filtration systems to be installed next summer to slow this process on any new equipment installed with potential bond funds.
We continue to repair and maintain our buildings, but the funds provided by the Nov2025 bond would allow us to replace corroded equipment and have consistent heating and a more predictable learning environment for our students.

Hey PIC, why do you need the November 2025 bond?
In short, because we want to take care of what we have. Our Board of Education has big dreams for the PIC building, but those dreams can't happen if the building isn't maintained.
In 2026 we are planning to move our amazing PELC program there and are currently working on licensing and inspections to make this happen. This move would also allow us more space to add new programing to our K-3 buildings.
Here's what the 2025 bond would fund at PIC to keep the building in good working order and up to code:
Renovate office restrooms to meet ADA requirements.
Replace outdated portions of roof with new roof membranes and higher performing insulation.
