Beecher School District Facilities Committee Meeting | December 2025

The Facilities Committee of the Beecher Board of Education met on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, to review capital projects and maintenance updates. The primary discussion centered on a major window and roof repair project for Beecher Elementary School to address persistent leaks. The committee leaned toward a proposal from GRP to replace windows and repair roof coping, targeting a January board vote.

Contractor Project Update:
Superintendent Dr. Jack Gaham noted that Mr. Hurley, a contractor, had been on-site earlier in the week but was delayed by cold weather. He is expected to return by the end of the week to finish outstanding work and address items at the Junior High.

Tuck Pointing Strategy:
The committee discussed the possibility of separating cosmetic or non-critical masonry repairs from the urgent water-intrusion project. Board members suggested that future tuck pointing needs could be bid out locally to Beecher-area masons to potentially save costs compared to bundling it with the specialized window and roofing contract.
