» Air Conditioning Equipment for Sigourney Elementary Delayed
SIGOURNEY – During the July 17 meeting of the Sigourney School Board, the board received an update from Rusty Wolfe of SitelogIQ on the progress of the elementary infrastructure update. Wolfe explained that work was going well and that asbestos had been removed from classrooms. However, he noted that the project had run afoul of the state fire marshal due to a lack of fire-rated doors and windows and wooden lockers connected to classroom walls. Wolfe said the fire marshall would be willing to let the school carry out gradual improvements, like replacing doors, aiding fire resistant paint to lockers, and adding smoke seals.
