The Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose (BHM) School Dist. 877 will have a bond question on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.

The proposed $33 million bond includes a variety of projects that touch every school in the district.

The number one project in the bond is the improvements to safety and security in the schools. Hanover Elementary, along with Discovery and Tatanka Elementary schools in Buffalo, would have the entryway to the school remodeled. Parents and the public who visit the school would have to enter through the office and check-in before making their way to any part of the building. Hanover, and other schools around the district, will also see upgrades and additions of security cameras and the high school would install an upgraded intercom/phone system.

The demand for technology is greater and greater each year. Infrastructure, servers, switches, and routers are beginning to show their age as more and more devices are accessing the system since students are being encouraged to bring their own devices to school. Funds for technology would help make necessary upgrades and replacements district-wide while keeping up with the pace of technology.

Another major project within the bond funding is deferred maintenance. Deferred maintenance is composed of projects that have been postponed by the district because the funds are not available. Over the years, these projects add up and eventually need to be addressed. Some of the deferred maintenance projects district-wide include roof replacements (seven out of nine buildings); HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) upgrades; parking lot and sidewalk repairs and replacements; floor, window and door upgrades; outdoor equipment replacement; and mechanical system upgrades.

There are also needs for additional classroom spaces around the district. The new entrance at Hanover would allow the current office space to be converted into kindergarten space. Buffalo High School (BHS) is in need of more classroom and physical education space. One large classroom at BHS has been identified that could be remodeled into multiple classrooms. Space would be added on the northeast corner of the Performing Arts Center that would serve as a multi-purpose fine arts classroom. The high school would also see an addition of gymnasium space on the north end of the school by the current gymnasium and activity center.

Annually, activity venues get a few tweaks here and there, but any major improvements are delayed due to high costs and budget constraints. The pool, located at the middle school, is in need of a new water filtration system, HVAC improvements, family locker rooms, updates to the existing locker rooms (flooring, shower tile, fixtures and lockers), and storage. An addition to the outside of the pool area (southwest corner of the middle school) would provide better public access.

Other activity site and facility upgrades at BHS would include adding a track and two multi-purpose playing fields (one field would be a synthetic playing field and the other would be sand-peat), relocating three softball fields to the west end of the school (currently a practice field), making improvements to two baseball fields, and grading and improving irrigation to all the field spaces at the high school and also the fields located at the middle school. The addition and improvements of these spaces would help alleviate the current overcrowded, overused fields at both schools.

The $33 million bond for facilities and technology would have an estimated tax impact of about $88 per year on a $200,000 home (thats just over $7 per month). If approved, the district will begin work on the projects in the summer of 2015 and would be completed within five years or less. The bond would be paid over a period of 15 years.

Voting takes place on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. Since it is a general election, voters will vote at their regular voting precincts. More detailed information can be found in the districts October Insider newsletter. You will also find updated information on the districts website at http://www.bhmschools.org and Facebook page.

Dist. 877 bond addresses safety, other issues

AISD and Xcel Energy are working together to find ways to use less power for an even greater output for campuses across Amarillo. /Marissa Lucero

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- A check presented to the Amarillo Independent School District (AISD) for more than $181,000 as an incentive to find ways to use less energy.

AISD and Xcel Energy are working together to find ways to use less power for an even greater output in campuses across Amarillo, and new high efficiency units seem to be the answer. This past summer the district spent $3.9 million replacing more than 500 heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.Another $100,000 to replace lighting units in itsschools.

"They can save a lot of kilowatt hours across the year something like 700,000 kilowatt hours," Xcel Spokesperson Wes Reeves said.

AISD made upgrades to 18 different campuses in Amarillo; some received new HVAC systems, some new lighting systems and others received a combination of the two. AISD Chief Financial Officer Les Hoyt said voters in May 2013 passed the bond program that included the replacement of the HVAC systems. The funds to replace the lighting units are being figured into the districts budget.

"The initial reasons for the HVAC replacements were because they were getting old," Hoyt said. "They were becoming a maintenance issue and some of the parts were becoming obsolete."

According to Hoyt the district plans to spend nearly $17 million total in HVAC replacements, while saving up to $10,000 each month onthe current electricity bill.

"We're trying to get the most efficient lighting and HVAC systems into our school, but it's taking years to do it," Hoyt said.

After 65 years, the Saginaw Art Museum has a grand new look that showcases some forgotten treasures.

It has been amazing to see it go up. It has been amazing to see the regions reaction to what we have here, said Stacey Gannon, executive director. Ive had six longtime patrons whove come in and been reduced to tears. They said, I never knew.

The first phase of a 20-month, $2.5 million renovation has brought 11 newly designed gallery spaces and specially designed display furniture. A solarium has been added, so the sculpture gallery looks out on Michigan Avenue and is lit at night for passersby, and in the spring there will be work outdoors.

Gannon joined the museum in February 2013.

One of the first steps for me was to really assess what we had here, she said. The collections director had announced plans to move out of the area so world-class consultant Jim Tottis was brought in and the pair spent the summer of 2013 going through the permanent collection piece by piece, looking for strengths, themes and work that needed to be conserved.

What Jim did was he specifically designed all these gallery spaces to the work that was going in them, she said. The placement is thoughtful, with touches such as acclaimed en plein air (in the open air) paintings by Camille Corot placed on a wall with windows that look out onto the formal gardens.

He also grouped work by region, so now visitors begin in a red gallery of British work, move into a blue gallery devoted to France and view American landscapes upstairs.

Graphic design is displayed on the second floor. Even rotating, We have enough in our permanent collection to keep that going for three to five years, Gannon said. A grouping on the main floor is devoted to nature.

In a light-filled breezeway between the main building and the huge gallery devoted to visiting exhibitions there are Civil War-era sculptures by John Rogers. We have 18 of these sculptures; the Detroit Institute of Arts has one.

In the basement hang plans for the Ring Home, along with photos of how the Georgian Revival mansion and formal gardens looked in 1912. The architects grandson designed the modern wings that now flank the original 1904 structure.

Do you needa new air conditioner installed?

Champion AC provides the best air conditioning installations in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Our experts treat every home and homeowner with custom care.Our technicians willgather detailed information about your house (insulation, windows, square footage, etc.) and determine the optimum air conditioning equipment for your home. In the past, many contractors would installair conditioners that were oversized thinking it would cool a home down faster. From an engineering standpoint, this is a truly bad idea because, not only will the system be more inefficient, it wont be able to heat and cool the home to a comfortable or desired temperature.

When purchasing a new central HVAC system there are a few details that you really want to watch out for. Currently, there are more rebates than ever for upgrading central AC systems, but the system must qualify with the proper SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. Our comfort advisors and technicians will be able to show you exactly which HVAC systems qualify for rebates and set the custom design for your home. While the brand can alter the price significantly, warranties speak volumes in the HVAC industry.

A properly sized HVAC system is essential to lowering utility bills and reducing indoor humidity. Todays high-efficiency AC systems also have higher SEER ratings and variable speed motors, which require much less energy to run. SEER ratings are an important factor to consider when deciding which air conditioner to install because heating and air conditioning accounts for approximately 60 percent of a typical utility bill. Champion AC can install every brand of air conditioner. Learn more on our AC units page.

A Champion AC home evaluation includes a full 17-point diagnostic inspection of the heating and air conditioning system.
