• Supports local workforce development by training students in skills that match community needs.
   

What has been completed?

• The district has updated electrical systems during the completion of projects such as seismic updates and the installation of vestibules, for example. 

What needs to be completed?

• Electrical panels need to be upgraded district-wide, and additional circuits and outlets need to be installed in all schools. 

What are the benefits?

• Improves access to technology, allowing for better integration of digital learning tools.
• Improves access to HVAC system upgrades. 
• Reduces risks of electrical shortages and failures. 

What has been completed?

• Handwashing stations have been replaced at all schools.
• The septic system at Melrose Elementary has been upgraded.

• Ensures that students, staff and visitors with disabilities have equal access to all educational facilities and programs.

What has been completed?

• Flooring and piping containing asbestos are removed and abated as the district has completed construction projects such as seismic updates, plumbing repairs, and the installation of vestibules, for example. 

What needs to be completed?

• An estimated 92% of buildings in the district contain portions of asbestos flooring. By law, the district monitors, maintains or abates this flooring if it becomes disturbed.  

What are the benefits?

• Removes hazardous materials from the learning environment, ensuring student and staff safety and health.

What has been completed?

• The majority of district facilities rely on manual pull stations to trip fire alarms. Some areas, such as mechanical rooms and boiler rooms, also have heat detectors. Few smoke detectors have been installed. 
• Updated fire alarm systems were installed in the new Main and Student Center at Roseburg High School in the early 2000s. The systems include audio alarms, horn strobes and smoke detectors.

What needs to be completed?

• All facilities would be brought up to modern building code standards and would include smoke detectors, enunciators, strobes, and voice messaging in the event of a possible fire. 

What are the benefits?

• Ensures that students and staff have immediate and reliable notification during emergencies.
• Increases ability to prevent damage to or destruction of our community’s school buildings.

One generator installed at each elementary and middle school, and the high school.

What has been completed?

• The New Main and Student Center at RHS are served by a 20-year-old generator. There are no other functioning back-up units installed district-wide.
