Grass Lake School board approves new roof for middle school

GRASS LAKE, MI Grass Lake Middle School will receive a new roof this summer.

The school board on Monday approved a bid from McDonald Roofing that will replace a portion of the middle school roof. The $39,000 project is the third phase of a five-year roof replacement schedule the district created two years ago.

We want to make sure we keep up on the roofs so we dont have to incur debt in the future, Superintendent Brad Hamilton said.

The district created the five-year roof replacement plan in order to prevent major roof repairs. The plan includes replacing most of the roofing at Grass Lake Middle School and George Long Elementary.

According to school officials, funds for the new roof at the middle school are expected to come from the districts capital budget, not the general fund.

In other business, the district is increasing its driver education fee from $250 to $300. The current fee covers the cost of the instructors, but doesnt provide funds for vehicle replacement. The increased fee will allow the district to replace vehicles as needed.
