MSD of New Durham Township
Summer 2022 Update
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Improvements for 2022-2023
Safety
Earlier this spring, we began working on a the purchase and installation of a new building security system, which is currently being installed through the entire school . This system features electronic monitoring of every door in the building, and has the capability to alert administrators to events associated with all entrances and doors. This added security will help us to ensure that all of our doors remain locked and monitored 24/7. The new security system will be fully installed and operational by the first day of school.
Building
- Our cafeteria is undergoing some much needed updating with the removal of the carpeting on the walls, installation of drywall, and a fresh coat of paint. Next summer we will finish this project with new flooring and updated graphics for the walls.
- The middle school and high school classrooms are being relocated to provide better continuity between the two parts of our secondary school.
- New flooring is being installed in several areas of the school, including new tile in the science wing of the high school, and new tile/carpet in several classrooms.
- One set of our elementary restrooms is being renovated with new stall partitions and updated paint.
Technology
In addition, we are also working on the replacement of our 1:1 chromebooks for students entering grades 1, 5, and 9, as well as the upgrade of new desktop computers for many staff members. Our team has been very busy working on these upgrades and we know our students are going to benefit greatly from them!
