It’s been nearly 3 months since Coleytown Middle School reopened.
The “new” school has earned rave reviews. Bright! Modern! No mold!
Of course, a few tweaks continued after students and staff returned. Don O’Day — the mastermind as chair of the project — reports that the town issued its final Certificate of Occupancy last week.
Welcome to Coleytown!
During spring break, the grounds will be thoroughly raked, top soil will be added and seeding will begin.
The missing “Coleytown Middle School” signs on the roof, in front of the building and the bus loop have been redesigned. They’ll be up hopefully by May.
The gray cement columns in the front will be painted.
And because the new HVAC is both a heating and air conditioning system, there’s no need to wait for an arbitrary date to switch over to AC (as is the case in other schools). Whenever the weather warms up, the classrooms will be cool.
Just like the entire school — finally — is.
