A number of summer projects are taking place throughout Carroll ISD. In addition to the usual, extensive deep cleaning and day-to-day summer maintenance, many tasks are in the process of being completed at CISD campuses and Districtwide.
Changes include HVAC work, sprinkler systems, new fire alarms and completion of the District’s security camera and swipe card keyless entry project. These are just a few of the many tasks that have been completed this summer - funded by 2006 bond proceeds. In addition, routine maintenance such as painting, new carpet and repairs to tennis courts, athletic tracks and exterior fencing has taken place to ensure a smooth transition into the coming year.
