Summer Brings Construction & Limited Access on Campus
Dear New Albany Families, Students, Staff & Community,
As you are aware, the passage of the 5-year permanent improvement levy in November 2017 combined with General Revenue Fund planning and grants provides the financial resources necessary to continue our work to repair, replace, and maintain capital assets throughout our school campus. We are responsible to insure our school facilities are safe, well maintained, and fully operational for our students, staff, and community.
Significant work occurs during the summer months to eliminate disruptions to the learning environment, when possible. This summer is no exception. The following information is provided to help you understand the scope of summer work scheduled that will impact our school campus.
