General
The District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools
are clean, safe, and functional. To assist in this effort, the
District uses a facility survey instrument to inspect the condition of the
buildings and grounds on the campus quarterly. The results of this
survey are available at the principal’s office or at the Business Services
office at the District
Education Center.
School Buildings
First opened in 1964, Troy High
School is built on 37 acres and includes six
classroom buildings, two gymnasiums, athletic fields, and parking areas.
Facilities have been modified and modernized as required to
provide for changing needs such as the creation of computer labs and
expansion of specialized classrooms. A new science building was dedicated
with ten life and physical science classrooms in the spring of 2005. Modernization of all classrooms was
completed during August, 2007.
Troy’s dedicated
grounds and custodial staff members maintain a clean, orderly, and safe
school. Campus beautification and security projects are a priority
when considering funding schoolwide resource
allocations. The District’s Service Center
cooperates closely with campus staff members to respond to special
maintenance needs at the school.
Cleaning Process and Schedule
The District has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in
the District. The principal and assistant principal of
instruction/operations work daily with the custodial staff members to
develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school.
Deferred Maintenance Budget
The District participates in the State School Deferred
Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for
major repair or replacement of existing school building components.
Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air condition,
electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems.
For the 2006/07 school year, the District budgeted approximately $1,400,000
for the deferred maintenance program, an amount that represents 1 percent
of the District’s General Fund Budget.
Deferred Maintenance Projects
For the 2006/07 school year, the District’s Board of Trustees
has approved deferred maintenance projects for Troy High School
including replacement of built-up roof on the Administration, Lecture Hall,
Library, and 400 buildings, and resurfacing the floor in the kitchen and
lunch room floor in the cafeteria. A copy of the District’s complete
deferred maintenance plan is available at the Business Services office at
the District Education Center.
Modernization Projects
During the 2006/07 school year, local bond funds (Measure AA)
and State matching funds will be used to install new heating, ventilation,
and air condition in classrooms, provide wiring for technology; replace
lighting in classrooms; install dropped ceilings in classrooms; install
insulation in classrooms; and replace all utility mains including gas,
water, sewer, and electrical. The work on this project began in the
fall of 2005, and was completed by the end of the summer of 2008.
