Work on our 2024 capital project is continuing at Attica Elementary School! 

Demolition and asbestos abatement work remains on schedule in the nurses suite, behavioral suite and select bathroom areas. 

Last week, crews sealed and thoroughly cleaned work areas to ensure they were ready for the safe return of our students today. 

Highlights from this past week’s progress include: 

• Demolition & Abatement: Asbestos-containing material removals have been successfully completed in the nurses suite and behavioral suite. Selective masonry demolition will continue next week.

• Electrical: Fire alarm materials have arrived and are staged, with work scheduled to begin next week. Electrical demolition is continuing as areas are released.

• Plumbing & HVAC: Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) demolition is scheduled to resume next week, including HVAC fin-tube radiation removal.

• Safety & Monitoring: Continuous air monitoring has been conducted throughout the week, with all results meeting safety standards.

Looking forward, upcoming work at our elementary school will take place during second shift so as to minimize disruption during our students’ school day. 

We appreciate the patience and support of our staff, students, and community as we continue this important work to improve our facilities!

While our students and staff enjoyed some well-deserved rest and relaxation over winter recess, work on our capital project officially got underway at Attica Elementary! 

Approved by district voters in May 2024, this capital project will enhance our facilities to better serve students, staff, and our community for years to come. 

At Attica Elementary, where much of the work associated with this project will take place, the nurses’ and behavioral suites and bathrooms are all being redone and work is moving forward smoothly thanks to our dedicated teams on site.

Here’s a snapshot of work that began over break: 

• Demolition and Asbestos Abatement: Mobilized and set up full decontamination and containment, completed containment for the new nurses suite and behavioral suite. Abatement of asbestos-containing materials is ongoing in fully prepped areas.

• Electrical Work: Made circuits safe in demo areas, relocated fire alarm devices, raised data racks, established basement print/storage areas and removed demo materials.

• Plumbing: Completed plumbing make-safe work in key areas, and cut and capped sanitary and domestic water lines.

• HVAC: Cut and capped fin-tube connections ahead of abatement.

• Environmental / Air Monitoring: Completed containment inspections and providing ongoing air monitoring.

We are beyond excited to see this project come to life. These improvements throughout our three schools will create safer, more functional and more welcoming spaces for our students and staff - an investment in our district’s future we can all be proud of.
